What were you thinking? I think you recruit speed, football instinct/ability and a frame. At 6'2, our staff could have him up to 230 in no time. Just look at his offer list.

Mikey 16,777 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sounds like a good addition to me. We're obviously looking to increase the speed of our LB group. I'm not all that convinced that he needs to be 230 lbs. Give me a fast, athletic Lb in the 6'2", 210 pound range. They can get the job done.

You don't necessarily want all three of your LBs to be 210 lbs. But having one in the 210-215 range and speedy doesn't hurt anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense(clap clap) 4 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sounds like a good addition to me. We're obviously looking to increase the speed of our LB group. I'm not all that convinced that he needs to be 230 lbs. Give me a fast, athletic Lb in the 6'2", 210 pound range. They can get the job done. See our LB corps from 04, which is arguably Auburn's best defense ever. Somewhat undersized, but fast fast fast and swarmed to the ball. I think Garret can end up in the 225 range and keep his speed. That's exactly what Chizik wants in an OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,530 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 At 6'2, I think he ultimately plays at a weight closer to 225. Just take a look at our current LB corp... Josh Bynes (Sr.) - 6'2, 239 Craig Stevens (Sr.) - 6'3, 223 Daren Bates (So.) - 5'11, 195 Jonathan Evans (So) - 5'11, 216 Harris Gaston (RS Fr.) - 6'1, 229 Now, look at these same players as recruits... Bynes - 212 (+27) Stevens - 210, (+13) Bates - 202 (+7) Evans - 205 (+11) Gaston - 225, (+4) Also, here's a look at the LB depth chart after this year... Mike Linebacker Harris Gaston - 6'1, 229 Jake Holland - 6'1, 228 Chris Landrum - 6'2, 215 Will Linebacker Eltoro Freeman - 5'11, 222 Ladarius Owens - 6'2, 225 Justin Garrett - 6'2, 185 Sam Linebacker Daren Bates - 5'11, 202 Jessel Curry - 6'2, 215 Jonathan Evans - 5'11, 216 Jawara White - 6'2, 220 Anthony Swain - 6'3, 215 *Commit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duder 238 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Seems like he's already put on some weight. My guess would be his weight will remain fairly constant throughout football season and then he will immediately begin packing on the weight required to play LB in the SEC. AU cannot provide direct coaching but if he talks with Chizik, Roof, Yox, etc. and they remind him he'll need to put on weight the process will begin early. He could easily report to camp next fall around 215-220. If he can report at 210 he will be serviceable as a WILL. If he ends up as a red shirt his freshman year they will have all year to bulk him up and he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabrasco 127 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 He moves really well side-to-side and has good acceleration when he goes in for the hit. Great pickup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
