Starting with Will Tukuafu (Oregon, 49er, Seahawks) sadly he could have been BYU but for a bit of a slip up

I could name many but Will was first in my mind

Maybe walk-on

I like his blocking. Can he play TE? Is he still 215lbs?

That dude has OLB rush specialist written all over him.

I would have liked to have seen more highlights of him getting back into zone coverage.

Sheds blockers well. We could use someone with that skill.

SouthernCoug

The problem is he chose to play in a small school private parochial league

good but not great... you've got your athletes, but most wouldn't see the field

According to the NCAA, you're right about Florida but wrong about Texas

How much do you think HS graduation rates, clearinghouse, and eligibility plays

For its population Utah is now very good

Utah has the highest percentage of players receiving D1 offers in the west

Byu offered and has a commit from a utah 2a ot from sputh summit who this kid would eat up

So you aren't familiar with high school football in Utah?

I played in HS football Utah and Arizona (granted 10+ years ago), and I've

BringYourUltimate

Per capita, Utah can compete with almost any state in terms of overall D1 offers.

slatecoug

12/5/18 3:31pm

I totally agree with you. I've seen the statistic, and my brother is one

BringYourUltimate

12/5/18 5:35pm

SoCal is the same way. Insane amount of athletes

slatecoug

12/5/18 11:37pm

Other thing I would say is different states likely excel at putting D-1 kids in at different positions

Wasn't he the BYU camp MVP this summer?

JuicyJam

12/4/18 9:59am

any offers elsewhere?

He could try to play at an FCS school or go to a JC. He is too much of a

12/4/18 8:28am

Not to knock the kid but you are all aware that this is comparable to 1A? How many 1A kids are you excited about and

monkeycowboy

12/4/18 8:43am

I don't care if they're 1A or 5A, just want talent.

Mrs Featerbottom

12/4/18 9:07am

He's not even really linebacker size. He would need to put on another 20 to 30 pounds to play that effectively.

monkeycowboy

12/4/18 9:16am

To play LB at the FBS level he needs 15+ lbs minimum and to get faster.

molodyets

12/4/18 9:38am

Or at least not get slower. A 4.6 40 isnt terrible

monkeycowboy

12/4/18 9:45am

For a DE that would be top end NFL speed. He doesn't run a 4.6

molodyets

12/4/18 9:59am

Yeah he does he has been timed at Several Camps and runs a legit 4.6

CarolinaCoug

12/4/18 7:32pm

Then why is he not playing WR or even TE with that height and weight and speed combo? No hand skills or what?

monkeycowboy

12/4/18 7:48pm

Are you even familiar with what happens in high school football?

shakarocks

12/4/18 8:34pm

OK but 215 and 6'3" isnt huge for a guard even in high school ball.... Sure he could be a diamond in the rough but i

monkeycowboy

12/5/18 8:25am

I'd say it's average depending on the division

shakarocks

12/5/18 10:25am

OK but you do realize that if he runs a legit 4.6 40 and is as dominant as he appears he is in Bamas back yard.

monkeycowboy

12/5/18 10:27am

That video means almost nothing

shakarocks

12/5/18 10:40am

He went to their camp, they have evaluated him.

molodyets

12/5/18 12:59pm

He is playing guard because he is thatbteams best guard..not because

CarolinaCoug

12/5/18 12:33pm

The average 40 time at the NFL combine for running backs is 4.62

BYUMizzou

12/5/18 8:55am

Cool.he isnt a running back.but good to know what nfl rb 40 times are. What are MLS soccer forwards 40's? Or MLB

CarolinaCoug

12/5/18 12:52pm

The thought is more athletic people at a more athletic position are that fast. Sure he is big and will block but i dont

monkeycowboy

He's performed well against better competition at BYU and UAB camps.

Conan

12/4/18 3:01pm

Didn't I read somewhere that he was 215? He looks enormous on that field.
