per webby in an earlier thread, he's going to be a preferred walkon at WR. Stallion thinks he could get moved around to an h-back type role since he's a bigger boy that can block and hit

Who knows? I'm speculating based on running style in his Junior year video and his high school position of primarily RB/DE:

I've got a sneaky feeling that Jones might make him a blocking back/TE hybrid-he does hit and can run a little for a big guy. Note some highlighted blocks in there. Listed on St John's website as 6-2, 195. I don't really see him as a smooth runner, shiftiness or foot quickness to be a WR-more of a North/South type-note his video doesn't show many cutting moves-he may run East/West but he is trying to outrun somebody not cut upfield-but who knows. I could see him at OLB before WR. Also, SMU could need a backup RB too if those freshman RBs Fields and Pope are moved as reported

Where have Fields and Pope reportedly been moved to?

Got to think JJ has some ideas where he can be used. One wonders if this was a good enough class for JJ to take a chance on a kid that could be used in multiple positions and takes the time to let him develop into a particular position.

Stallion points out some multiple position options for him to play. I havn't seen the kid but with his height and lack of bulk at this point, he may have he potential to grew into a big man.

I dont think 6-2 190 is particularly big. Hhe is a preferred walk-on - right? Cant imagine him playing reciever for us.

Jones has mentioned he was considering moving Pope and Fields-probably to LB positions. I haven't heard if that decision had definitely been made yet. Pope especially was a pretty highly regarded LB at his level in high school.

Would love to see Pope put on some serious weight and move to dline...like Melton from UT, now a bear...

I am no longer a member of scout. But it appears from the story headline he is on scholarship.


Yep. He is not a walk-on http://rivals.yahoo.com/smu/football/re ... res-122785

found senior highlights and a short TD clip

apparently last June he verbally committed to Yale- explains why no one has heard of him before now.

and SMULaxer, has JJ ever let players offseason in the past?
