Looks like a probable. We'll see.

Not saying it's a bad thing, but what is it about us that we keep getting QBs that are below 220lbs? Usually, they are under 210lbs.

Most recruits do this when they visit the school.

Another good get!!

Not that this changes the weight issue, but he is coming in as a DE

That is incredibly light for a DE. That's incredibly light for a linebacker. Though about right for a DB. An ideal 4-3 DE is at least 250lbs, and often between 250-265lbs. He has a LOT of bulk he'll need to put on.

6'3, 220 lbs that we want to use as a defensive end?

Is there anything that makes him extra special?

 

[LanderPoke]

I've read that he'll probably be an OLB or TE.

 

[JimmyDimes]

He has good speed for his size (4.5) and has a frame that could add some weight.

If he actually ran a 4.5 at 220 lbs, that IS pretty fast.

I'm thinking OLB. That would be an immediate need at this point and for the next few years. Losing Nzeocha, Stanton and Devin Harris will be priority spots that need to be filled. I prefer not to use a true freshman on Defense, unless they are physically and mentally mature. I like the pick ups of "athletes" rather then straight up positional players though. This hopefully gives us more positional flexibility depending on need. Plus they can fill up the special teams rosters that were so darn awful last year.

Definitely a redshirt if he's a DE. Most likely he'd be a nicely sized OLB.

Highly unlikely under Bohl. Most likely he will red-shirt unless we are desperate.
