Not sure any player has profited as much from a single play.
How so? Dude had a pretty prolific college career, and given his measurables you could remove several of his highlight plays each season and he'd still probably have gone top 3
Clowney and JT are the best HS prospects in the last 10-15 years.
For now I’d put JTT as the #3 DL prospect behind Clowney and Myles Garrett in that timeframe.
Garrett still has the quickest 1st step I’ve ever seen for a guy that size. Unblockable in HS
Robert Nkemdiche was right there as a prospect he just didn't have the mindset to maximize his physical gifts.
His film was *really* good just not “holy fucking shit” good in the same way Clowney/Garrett/JTT are. I’d put Nkemdiche in tier 2 with guys like Rashan Gary, Bryan Breese, etc.
--Sammamish (Wash.) Eastside Catholic five-star defensive lineman J.T. Tuimoloau was the best player on the field on Friday, in either game, and there is a reason he is the No. 1 prospect in the country by 247Sports in the 2021 class. Tuimoloau was a problem all night for Pinnacle and he unquestionably got the better of offensive lineman Tosh Baker in their much anticipated matchup. Tuimoloau had three tackles for loss, a sack, five pass breakups and six hurries on the night and was constantly bringing pressure to J.D. Johnson. In fact, there was some double and triple teaming going on with Tuimoloau just to give Johnson time to throw. And to seal the game, Tuimoloau crushed a Pinnacle ball-carrier on the final play when the Pioneers tried a miraculous last play, with Tuimoloau jarring the ball loose. Between this game and his five-sack performance against Peoria (Ariz.) Centennial a year ago, Tuimoloau has been a thorn in the side of Arizona prep teams. Tuimoloau, who also shined on the hardcourt all offseason with Seattle Rotary AAU, has been terrific in the early going for the Crusaders and continues to cement himself as the top prospect in the class.
I love me some smalls, but I can’t wait for JTT be dawg. He have much bigger impact on UW than smalls will
Smalls is good but it’s not close. This kid is at an entirely different level.

Also Clemson wasn’t Clemson yet.
