Spring Practice Visitor

Fri Jan 20, 2012 2:27 am

Per an Internet search a kid from Ohio has Confirmed a Spring Practice visit with the Cowboys! All conference honored Junior Connor Matlock DT out of Vandalia,Ohio who is strong and fast (4.9 40time)! A long trip just to watch a prctice?! In my opinion looks like we may land another D-Lineman this time from an Ohio Recruiting Mill School! This kid played along side National Top Rrcruit Taylor Decker who just committed to Ohio St after Decommitting from Notre Dame, and Huge Miles Eaton who committed with Ball State!

Here is the Information I found from a Google Search:

Video(best video may require a silver fox download..safe and quick): http://www.hudl.com/athlete/217425/connor-matlock

Scouting Ohio(check out his top intetest schools): http://www.scoutingohio.com/index.php/v ... &user=7533

Stats: http://gwocsports.com/fbPlayerStats.aspx?player=166422

Also found some things online about Kansas forum talking about him. But what do you guys think? Style of player? And most importantly....think we can get him in some Cowboy Gear??

According to the Scouting Ohio site, he is a 2013 grad.

Juniors are typically invited to spring games.. kind of the beginning of the recruiting process.

He should be able to. A recruit can verbally commit anytime he wants to any school he wants. In past years there have been younger kids that committed such as a Connecticutt freshman QB that committed to USC a few years ago. I even remember hearing a story of a 3rd grade basketball player "committing" to Arkansas (maybe 10 years ago). Granted to actually play for a school the coaching staff has to agree as well, but unless their is some type of rule that prevents a junior from committing on a campus visit (which I doubt), we could see a commitment at anytime from him.

Awesome! Did you check him out? Kid has got some speed and strength which would help us HUGE against the run(Temple game comes to mind).....and I hope one of those midwest schools dont get him...but like I said, its a long way to come on an unofficial visit for a sighseeing trip, good sign I say....hope he locks in

early commits don't pan out too often. it is a good sign he's coming to visit. I like the way he plays and would be great on our squad. Waiting a month for a kid to sign is long enough, but waiting a whole year for him to sign would be painful. Every offer he gets, etc. we would be wondering if this is the one that takes him. Who knows though, maybe someone on the staff has a connection to him and his family or someone in the family has a connection to UW. We just want the best we can.

Well Put! I guess it would drive us nuts checking on our recruits for a year!

And I wouldnt be surprised if the Rams offer just to do it, because its just their style!

Go Cowboys!

Think we can get him
