Some BCS schools were looking at him and one still is but I think the question might be if he can go from a DE to a standup OLB. We are willing to give the opportunity alone with UNT and UTSA so far. I think he does it successfully.

I have never seen him play, but friends who have seen Garland play have raved about this guy.

Welcome to SMU, Nick!

(This link has him at 6'3, 232 â€” great size for a LB prospect who is just getting ready to start his senior year!)

Scout lists offers from New Mexico, UNT, UTSA.

Good thing we were able to beat out those schools......

Another big LB who can run. Can't get enough of those guys.

Congratulations, Nick! You've made a decision you'll always be proud of.

I'm having visions of a defense that can roll wave after wave after wave of big, athletic linebackers at opposing teams. Love it.

Also a big fan of getting more players from Garland HS. They have had some good players there, and a pipeline would be great.

I still wonder how Otto posts the recruits that have committed even though the thread is locked.

Otto = David Copperfield

Whatever the case I am glad Otto started the thread.
