The drop was legit. He hasn't grown much since his Soph year as they projected & would be a pretty small LB. In fact teams like UGA are recruiting him now as a Strong Safety. I could have seen them keep him as a 5* as an ATH but since we are recruiting him as a LB they rated him as a LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,080 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Another small linebacker other schools would want at safety??? Sign him up! He'll be just fine here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,148 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I am not worried that he is a high 4 as long as he stays with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,093 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 So I went to Owen’s Twitter page last night. I noticed that he has his auburn commitment tweet pinned at the top of his page. The last time I visited his page when the Tennessee hype was at its highest I’m almost positive that tweet had been unpinned and was not at the top for what it’s worth. Also noticed there was really no pro Tennessee tweets from him since Tennessee beat Auburn in mid October. The only thing close was Wanya Morris tweeting Wanya’s happy birthday in a Tennessee uniform photoshop. He had a few pro auburn tweets. He may of had pro Tennessee tweets before but they weren’t there now. However he is still following a lot of Tennessee players and personnel for full disclosure. Just thought I’d share.

I haven’t followed this class’ recruiting much but I’ve pretty much been waiting on OP to flip to them for months now.

NorthGATiger 1,801 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 The reason UGA is probably thinking Safety for him is due to size and his athleticism. It is a brutal physical game for a smallish LB taking on OL who cream you at the second level. He will definitely need to use his speed to get to the point of attack before blockers get to him. Roquan did it and I hope OP can as well. The spread has made a mess out of the MLB position. You are either too big to drop in coverage and try to shadow a running QB or you are too small for a team with a good power run game. Roquan was great sideline to sideline and really good when Kirby called for the run blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,113 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 @ellitor, I know this season Tre Williams worked for Gus in a recruiting capacity. Do you or @WarDamnEagleWDE know if he has had any impact on OP or anyone else in this recuriting cycle? Just curious as I think he could be a good recruiter for us.

Nothing has been reported about his role on the team or any impact he is having. Highly doubt he would have a real impact with Pappoe though.

ellitor 33,093 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Quote Owen Pappoe tweets to 'clear things up' By Keith Niebuhr Will 5-star linebacker Owen Pappoe of Grayson (Ga.) stick with his commitment to Auburn? Or will Tennessee flip him, as has been rumored for weeks? On Wednesday, both programs visited Pappoe. But after Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and linebackers coach Travis Williams did an in-home visit with Pappoe and the player's family, the prized recruit tweeted he was solid to the Tigers. For Auburn, which currently has 16 commitments and the No. 11 recruiting class in the country, this was welcome news. Pappoe has been scheduled to officially visit the Vols this weekend. At this time, it is unclear whether that visit still is a go. The No. 1 outside backer and No. 15 overall recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite, Pappoe committed to Auburn on May 1. He's an early enrollee and plans to sign Dec. 19. The bolded part is what I'm most interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
