The 4-star safety is set to choose tomorrow between Clemson and FSU (gotta love Clemson's chances here) and I was talking to someone in Georgia about him this morning.
"He just wants to knock your bleeping head off," they said. "He has that size (6-3, 200) and when he comes downhill he wants to hit somebody. He can play in coverage, too, but man, he's a hitter. And he's faster than some think. He's a baller."

Agree. Reminds me of Kearse. Good news!

Oh God no. Don't say that please. Kearse was the inventor of the term "Blown Coverage"

It would be awesome to have the length we had with Tanner Muse & Isiah Simmons before he switched to LB, and then switched to CB and probably back to Safety at some point.

He's a 100% Tiger lock. FSU's use of the portal was a turn off for Ricardo and family.

He'd make a whale of an addition to our D. We can use a big safety who can deliver the KABOOM.

glaring area of disappointment.
We need quality offensive linemen.

It's been awhile since we had a McDaniel type back there, and he has excellent size. This defense will continue to be strong in the years to come!

Clemson lock, sneaky good in Zone Coverage, and hits like a truck. Decent speed, and great size. I am not sure he will end up at safety, do not see him playing any man on his tape, just sitting back in Zone, probably a linebacker for us. Anticipation and ball-hawking skills are elite.
