Altima 200 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I want this guy! If anyone watched the AL/MS All-Star game, you will know why. He turned alot of heads in Montgomery... Coaches (and players) said he was one of the few stand-outs all week! Give this kid a scholly, or invite him to walk-on... This kid can play for any SEC team! Reminds you of a Vinnie Sunseri type player. Start him off on special teams, then let him work his way into the LB rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskull 239 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was impressed. Played much bigger than he is. Has the IT factor and was fearless.....and smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima 200 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 He looks too small to play LB in the SEC. Jake Holland, Johnny Evans, Justin Garrett, Javy Mitchell all say hello... Garrett and Mitchell are both under 200 lbs... And, Holland and Evans are both under 6 ft. I'd say if Sherling were to gain a few lbs, he would be juuussst fine...

ellitor 33,093 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 He looks too small to play LB in the SEC. No smaller than some of the LBs we have now...And that's without a college weight training program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither Justin Garrett or Javie Mitchell are under 200 pounds? Jake Holland is not under 6 foot? Justin Garrett and Javie Mitchell are at least 6'1 or 6'2? All these guys mentioned also have superior athleticism (maybe except for Holland) in terms of speed, lateral quickness and explosiveness though. Haven't seen who you are talking about but there is a difference between high school and college level ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 There is a case to be made that nobody is too small to play in the SEC...or the NFL if they have what it takes otherwise. Check this: http://www.canalstreetchronicles.com/2012/9/15/3335484/he-aint-heavy-a-look-at-player-height-and-weight-on-nfl-rosters Generally, more than half the players in the NFL are under 6 feet tall. Sam Mills was a pro bowler and played more than ten years and was about 5'-9. I see too many posts on these boards that automatically dismiss a prospect over his weight, his height or whatever without knowing much else about him.

GenesChin 9 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was just commenting on someone saying that Garrett and MItchell are under 200 and Jake Holland is not 6 ft. Don't know anything about this kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger2012 84 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 While we argue, we can always hope that Gus or one of the other coaches went by and watched him play, and IF they want him, I am sure they will offer until then, does anyone know what schools (if any D1) are recruiting him?

Haven't seen who you are talking about but there is a difference between high school and college level ability I can assure you that Holland IS under six feet tall... And, this JP Sherling kid is WAY more physical in stature than Garrett is (especially when he came out of high school), and yes, he IS still under 200 pounds. He got considerably smaller as the season went on. -as did alot of our players.... And poor Javy, to this day, has still never played in a game at the linebacker position... Don't believe the media guides or gameday programs. They boost numbers as much as the recruiting sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenesChin 9 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I bet this kid at the very least gets a walk on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter1978 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 A walk one like was already said on here that was a kid every coach wants first one in the gym last one out. Forget walking on we need to give him a scholarship. We always wait then there are already division one schools talking to him and we play catch up. Also played in an all star game making these tackles. What would keep u from offering,waiting to see if foster comes around,then we lose both of them.

ShugMan55 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 This kids moves well and tackles well. I would rather have 210 pounds making contact than 240 not making contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDUBB4AU 5,121 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 A smart player who can read and react is faster than any athlete... always two steps ahead even if he runs a 4.9...polomalu only runs a 4.8..but hes such a smart player it makes up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnandjagsfan 13 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 He is a good athlete. I have seen him on film a couple of times. Definitely an option to help fill out this class. His sister played volleyball at Auburn for a couple years as well. I cannot remember if she started or finished at AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy was timed at his pro day running a 4.33 and was his official pre draft measure . Even if it was hand time, the drop wouldn't be less than a 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragracer98 0 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 l watched the ALLSTAR game and he stood out to me throughout the game. Announcers said he had 27 tackles in one game last year, i know they were probably playing a nobody team when it happened but dang man 27 solos in one game come on. I say give him an offer, if you don't this kid will be playing for Troy or someone like that and getting drafted in four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
