Remember watching his dad pitch....helluva a fastball back in the day. Drawing on memory but didn't he throw over 100mph in high school??? which back then was huge.

Anyway, welcome aboard and looks like a nice offer list. Kudos to the staff.

Very happy addition.

There’s been a little too much attention on MJ and endless WR’s. We needed this.

He was definitely upper 90s, consistently. I think he'd touch 100 every now and then. Being an imposing 6' 5" on the hill didn't hurt either.

If you were a kid in the late 80s and early 90s and collected baseball cards, you remember his dad.

His 1991 Upper Deck was supposed to be the next KG Jr rookie card.

The way he blast through the line and throws down the QB reminds me of Suh!

Very, very happy about this commitment. Finally, a quality defensive line recruit! However… I cannot get overly excited about any of these commitments right now. Because if we go 5-7 and Frost gets fired all bets are off and many of these commits will fly away. We MUST have a winning season this year.

True. Kinda scratch your head why so many people want Frost fired for past performance rather than doubling down on changes in staff and recruiting/portal.

If we don't have a good year, and success breeds success, we're looking at a total reset and maybe a longer extension of this drought.

I'm hoping last year was rock bottom

This is wrong. His 247 ratings are as a IOL, not DL. They didn’t rank him as a DT because they projected him to be a IOL.

Cool story. I see him listed as a DT on 247, Rivals and on3, but OK.
