Seems UW had a satellite camp at Golden West. I guess the coaches met with him, liked what they saw, and are offering him a spot to walk on. Seems he has 3 years to play 2?
Dunno how he'll develop, but it doesn't seem like he'll make an immediate impact in 2015.
I'm taking deyoungs word on it and not watching the film, but these are the kind of guys that will be interesting to see after 3 years what their development is under Petersen. I have to believe he has a plan and so far treats every scholarship special, so this one will be on coach.
So I had to watch because the reactions on here are so poor.
I don't think he is shit. I can see why Pete offered him. He seems to have great hands in traffic (highlight film, duh) but mainly he looks to know how to use his frame to block out smaller dbs while maintaining enough awareness and control to stay in play.
In a lot of ways he looks like a poor man's Kasen. He injures a dB on a Crack back block and also attempts to jump over a guy at one point. He's the kind of player that will be more open than he appears because of his ability to win the jump ball.
Now whether he has a QB that will trust him enough to make those throws is the real question. We all know Kasen didn't.

Poor man's Josh Perkins. Not Kasen.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still underwhelmed with the offer, but that straight armed lumbering long stride looked awfully familiar.
Sounds like the kid did well as a freshman and then missed most of his sophomore year with an injury.
I'm still not impressed with his film, but considering that we have 4 scholarship WRs on the team right now, I guess it isn't a bad option to pick up another WR for 2 years or so. At the very least, he'll create some match-up problems for 5'10" DBs and catch some passes, even if he the slowest one out there.
I understand that we are depleted at WR, but why waste rides on kids who suck? I haven't watched the film, but I believe Dennis and the others. Let's be real, JC guys aren't available in June if they are any good. Same goes for the QB. I would rather just sign more players for the 16' class.

Surprised that they are taking a bunch of TEs. That seems to be one of the deeper positions, talent-wise, on the roster

Holy F.
Okay, so I watched his film again. He looks like a slow, incapable, unremarkable, poor man's Josh Perkins.
God only know what we're doing with him. Yikes.
