Uchenna Nwabuike

[Stallion]

New Video. Really hard to project on this guy because he is playing completely out of of position at DT when he probably will be a LB in college but he just might be one of the hidden gems in Texas this year. He is cat-quick and does not seem to have much of a problem getting past Offensive lineman to the QB despite his lack of size and can make plays side-to-sideline even from DT. I wouldn't be surprised to see him "blow-up" at DE where is expected to play this year. He really does remind you of a Youri Yenga type. He should be clearly a LB in SMU's defense. Could be a real steal.

Nice to know that Darius Johnson and him went to school together, should help us retain him if he blows up...

I think we have recruited really well at LB this year.

I understand that he will be a pass rush specialist for SMU (could replace Yenga when he graduates). He has some serious quickness. Glad to have him committed to us. Go get'em Uchenna and again welcome to the Hilltop!

I agree because Nwabuike, Thornton (if we can hang on to him), and Bordano are studs for this year's recruiting class.

It looks to me like we have recruiting well at LB, DB and DL where we NEEDED help. Still a year or two away to where we have a good defense, but it is coming.
