He does move well and has a high-motor, but the strength is what impresses me the most.
Whenever looking at film this early, I always try to go back and look at film of other recruits Petersen has picked up to see how similar they are and see what attributes they have. One of the things with Gaines, Potoae, McCoy, and other DL prospects is that you see them play both-ways - Gaines was a RB in some plays and ran well, and Potoae and McCoy played TE. I'm not sure whether this kid has the same type of athleticism or speed on the DL to fit Kwiatkwski's scheme.
Still, I wouldn't be surprised if he sees an offer this summer if he camps at UW.
Looks like a free beef candidate at best. He is making some good plays, but the kids who are trying to block him are at least 50 lbs lighter than him, often more.
