The kid needs to get it together. You gotta have some dog in you to play football at this level, you can't be timid. Epps is a chiseled 6'6" 240+ lbs, like he was carved by Michelangelo himself but he plays with no physicality and is timid. If he showed some kind of effort to block on Sam's last run he probably scores. Anytime a 5'11" DB gets physical with him he gives a half hearted effort to fight for the ball.
He's a RS Fresman, he may get better but I'm waiting for him to get some dog in him. Just from his size he could wreak havoc in the run game on the outside if he showed any interest in blocking. Roschon and Jake Smith are true freshmen and they are dogs, so youth isn't much of an excuse for the lack of hustle he shows out there. I'm not expecting him to be senior John Harris or last year's Lil'Jordan right now but show me something at least, look at what Eagles is doing when he's in the game and he's in his second year.
