Hudl Highlights

[lionheartkc 6,150]

A Prince on each line wouldn't be a bad thing... Too bad King has long since moved on or we could build an entire royal family.

[corchjay 5,311]

I like his size not sure in the video that he is 280 probably around 250. But his speed isn't SEC DE material. His strength isn't overly impressive but a good diet and a year in the weight room and he could definitely be a very solid OT.

Ellitor, do you think we're too late to the party here? He'd be a long way from home too. Ahh, darn me and my skepticism.

No. He seems open.

[JMassie11 1,610]

Hard to tell.....some of the competition looked terrible.

[AUpreacherman22 3,876]

He plays high a lot in the highlights (no pun intended)

He could get away with it because he was so much bigger and stronger than his competition. Coaching can correct that.

Big, strong, athletic, Good frame, long arms, etc.

He's raw, but I see a lot of potential.

JMHO.

Great surprise fills the need at OT. This has already been a stellar O Class and D class just with the guys signed so far and more to come.

[around4ever 4,139]

This one was a shocker!! How about a big Hand for our new OL Coach for this one!!

[wareagleguy 1,393]

Wow, nice! War Eagle!

6'8" - someone tell me, does being that tall make it harder to block people?

[ellitor 33,062]

6'8" - someone tell me, does being that tall make it harder to block people?

No. It makes it harder for DL to engage him.

[around4ever 4,139]

6'8" - someone tell me, does being that tall make it harder to block people?

No. But it does mean he may get a pass to the back of the head occasionally.

[bigbird 60,368]

not if you have the flexibility in your hips.

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641]

Prince Sammons vs Prince Tega

Whew

[War Knight 514]

6'8" - someone tell me, does being that tall make it harder to block people?

Pretty sure that was Dismukes height? We had someone that tall recently. The only concern is staying low and sometimes it could be difficult for shorter qbs.
