I sure like to see what is looking at SMU. I guess if this guy could get bulked up to 265 or 285 that would be a good size DE. Is 4.7 good speed for a tall LB?

No, that's not fast enough. This guy's future is at DE all the way.
Family connection?

There's a big OL/DT in Oklahoma named Craig Roark who's supposed to be very good - I think he's getting looks from a lot of big schools. I wonder if he's related to Coach Roark? Even if he's not, Coach Roark recruits Oklahoma, I think. Maybe the name alone can get us in the door?

Did rivals say if he has any interest in us?

Medium interest as is everyone but OU.

I'm sure he'll feel the family pull to play for Uncle Eric at SMU!
(Coach Roark isn't originally from Oklahoma, is he? It could only help if they're related.)

I know nothing about this kid, but I would think we should be looking at every good DE within miles. Like I said in another thread, I'm not displeased at all with the guys we have at DE, but I think DE has overtaken DT as the position where we need the greatest infusion of players, at least for depth if not immediate starters.
