6'7 275 according to scout. Who knows anything about him? Does a TE that big stay there? I'm guessing this means we won't be seeing Dontae Jones, Ravian Pierce or the TE from Florida, who is an EE.
ECCC TE commits to us
- Thread starter Uncle Ruckus
- Start date
I'm guessing he might be a OT or might be an invited walk on.
Seems like an odd position to take another TE.

Strange take, indeed. Guessing we saw something on film making us think we could grow him into an OT with a redshirt year...
Johnson is the future at TE. And the guy from FLA seems like a non-redshirt kinda guy as well. Plus, Dontea is a monster if he's retained speed thru all the size he's gained. Feel good about the future at TE.
We are going to have a monster OL next year that are going to greatly ease the QB transition IMO...

Defensive prospect? If we are filled at TE, he might be recruited to move to the other side of the ball.
More likely you are correct with OT guess.

This big guy runs a verified 4.6. Verified at MSU! He could play several positions with that speed and size.
6'7 275lbs, dang. Wait he plays / fights for EMCC? How is his jab? Orthodox style or Southpaw style?
In all seriousness though, he could be a great rush DE if he has speed at that size. If the plan is to turn him into a LT then it will be official that Rankin is a bust.

Or they saw something at camp this summer that they could not pass up in the end.
FYI-Chance that Dontea Jones never plays TE.

Let's see. Two big TE set with hands along side a slot and big outside receiver in the red zone and back behind Qb. Might be kinda fun
Like I said...
This supposed to miss saban's desk from an hour and a half away? Doesn't add up. Staff has earned the right to take whoever they want at this point, but I don't have to buy in to what I'm perceiving as manufactured hype.

No one heard of Darrion Hutcherson either till a month before signing day.Hell,Hutcherson had 11 catchers his whole career at Co-Lin ,Thomas topped that in one year.Thomas has a basketball background as well.
Marcus Green,Malcom Johnson,Gus Walley and Hutcherson have all been productive players.I think I'll give Mullen the benefit of the doubt here.

Hutcherson signed with Auburn among good offers out of high school. Nice try.
Marcus Green was elite before Mullen got here. Walley and Hutcherson have been placeholders to Johnson and the incoming freshmen.
I am not arguing this guy as an insurance policy. The numbers people are throwing around make him antonio gates.
No one had a clue who he was till a month before signing day.Also,he never played at Auburn.He was placed at Co-Lin by Auburn.

You're blowing smoke out your *** if you expect me to believe you had this kid on you recruiting list before a month from signing day.I can link you to his commit story of posters asking who he was and how good he was.Of course he got the recruiting fluff once he committed as the "second coming" and everyone was left wondering where he was last year.The fact of the matter is he was signed raw as hell and needed Mullen and crew to develop him.Also didn't help his development that he was hurt a lot his last year at Co-Lin.
We must have two different scales for what "elite" is.Let me clue you in on what Marcus Green did on the field before Mullen got here.1 rush -3 yards,1 rec 50 yards.Croom had this kid playing RB.
Mullen has had four solid to productive TE's since he has been here.I'll give Mullen the benefit of the doubt given this.Thomas looks like a big dude who can move for his size.I highly doubt that 40 time is legit,but the dude can movie for his size.I'll say this,he was a hell of a lot more productive in JUCO than Hutcherson's two year career at Co-Lin.

He was definitely a blocking TE and deservingly unheralded. There's a reason AU cut bait. He looked in every way awful until these last three games.

With that size he could probably play DE since we have so much depth at TE. Can never have too many guys that are 6'7", 275 and can run.
Exactly what I think. Jones and Roberson are both EE's I thought, so we may be missing out on one. Roberson may feel differently about UF after watching them this season. I'd like to know if Thomas is a Dec or Spring grad. Also, Gus doesn't play on Thursday it could be a sign that he may be done. If he is we'd have 2 guys on scholarship returning in Hammond, who I haven't seen touch the field, and Johnson. Hopefully that's not the case though.
