Fowler reminds me of something we should all be excited about. A very high percentage of five star players pan out to at least some extent. Most four star players pan out, but there is a fairly significant percentage that don’t, often because of mental issues.

Fowler was the perfect example. Strong made a ton of mistakes in selecting four stars that didn’t pan out, because he didn’t properly vet the players before giving them a slot. We are in a much better place now with Herman and staff. They will still have misses, but not nearly as bad as Strong.

A&M + LSU's frenzied pursuit of Lorando Johnson is amusing in this context.

What difference? 6’2 and 6’3? If you’re talking about weight the. You’re just being your usual self and ignoring all reason for the sake of pessimism. He’s 210 his junior year of HS while playing basketball. He can easily play college at 235+ like both those guys did. Tyus Bowser was 6’3, 205 coming out of HS and played B-backer at an extremely high level in Orlando’s defense at 6’3, 235. Dorbah’s size is not an issue in the slightest.

and Orlando doesn’t use his b-backer much as a hand in the dirt DE tasked with taking on an OT in the run game. At most, he has his b-backer shoot a gap, which Dorbah will be fine with. He uses the b-backer more in coverage and Dorbah looks to have plenty of athleticism to drop or run over to cover a bubble screen. 

They should just report wingspan because that's all we really care about. Obviously there's correlation with height, but that doesn't mean Dorbah isn't rocking pterodactyl arms that make up for the 1-2" in height that are causing few to wring their hands

I thought the only thing we care about is hand size.

I don't think we've seen the full extent of Orlando's usage of the B-backer yet at Texas, in part because we haven't had a really good group at the position. Heck, in 2017 we used dime a ton because Hughes wasn't really worth keeping on the field.

At Houston Bowser was used in a lot of different roles. With Ossai we'll hopefully get the chance this year.

Yeah, I was referencing how he used Bowser, you know, the true B-backer he had for two years, who was 6’3, 235 and had 8.5 sacks in 8 games his senior year.

Shoulder width as well. Wider shoulders = less of a limiting factor for growth

Mike Roach: Thoughts on Texas targets from UA Dallas

—Texas commit Jake Majors had some strong moments during the day, but he struggled at times with bull rushers. Bull rushing is against the rules at camps like these, but that didn’t stop defensive linemen. Majors is built well in his lower body, and he should come along once he adds more upper body strength to his frame. Majors did show the quick feet and good technique he displays on film.

—Fort Worth All Saints offensive tackle Tommy Brockermeyer belongs in the conversation with the elite offensive linemen in 2021. The Texas legacy showed up in great shape at 6-foot-6, 285 pounds, and he was undefeated in drill work during one-on-ones. Brockermeyer is quick and athletic, and he plays with great technical ability and motor.

—Speaking of elite 2021 offensive linemen, Duncanville’s Savion Byrdentered the conversation with his performance today as well. Byrd looked like a chiseled monster at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds, and he showed fantastic athleticism in one-on-one drills. Byrd’s quickness was tough to beat, and he showed some nastiness in his game at times. Byrd will be another prospect with his choice of elite schools once he reaches his senior season.

—Highland Park defensive end Prince Dorbah had arguably the best performance of the day. As a pure pass rusher, Dorbah showed off an explosive first step and violent hands. He won every rep we saw him take, and he never struggled to gain the edge against his opponent. Dorbah measured 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, and he could be a B-backer prospect at the next level.

—West Mesquite running back Ty Jordan was unstoppable in one-on-ones and 7v7 drills today. Jordan exploits space well, and he’s incredibly dynamic with the ball in his hands. Jordan’s explosive ability plays well at both running back and in the slot. Jordan has some of the best acceleration in-state, and his top speed is hard to match.

—Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington wide receiver Javian Hester used his length and athletic ability to make several acrobatic catches today. Hester gets off of the line quickly, and he can push defenses vertically. Hester utilizes his length well, and he’s smooth in and out of his breaks.

—Aledo wide receiver JoJo Earle earned a Future50 invitation with his performance during the camp. Earle showed off great quickness, fluidity and speed to go along with his strong route-running ability. Earle is a slot weapon in the mold of Tavon Austin who can produce big plays with the smallest slivers of space.

—Bishop Dunne linebacker Brennon Scott was able to use his versatility and athletic ability in both run and pass drills. Scott has a huge frame with great length, but he moves like a much smaller player. Scott can be a versatile weapon in a passing conference like the Big 12, because his skillset fits the hybrid prototype being utilized at linebacker.

—Arlington High ATH Jahari Rogers was one of the best defensive backs on the field today. Rogers played both inside and outside, and he showed off explosive burst and oily hips. Rogers’ quick feet allowed him to transition through breaks and burst downhill. Rogers has the length desired at cornerback, and he’s gaining more confidence with time at the position.

—Little Elm cornerback Ryan Wattsmoved well for a player of his size, but he will need to clean up his technique in transition. Watts has incredible tools for the position, and his work ethic will ensure he does everything he can to maximize them.

—Carthage receiver Kelvontay Dixonkeeps growing, and his skills are growing with his body. Dixon shows impressive explosion from the line of scrimmage, and his length is pushing him to be more of an outside receiver at the next level. Dixon spent his junior season coming off of an injury, but he appears to be nearing full strength.

—Mesquite Horn 2021 LB Kendrick Blackshire is so big for his position, but his movement is elite for a player of his size. Blackshire showed good ability to stick with running backs in coverage, and he generates so much lower body power. Blackshire is one of the elite recruits in the nation for 2021, and he’s done nothing to change that opinion.

—2021 Denton Ryan ATH Ja'Tavion Sanders worked at wide receiver, though he’s probably suited to play defensive end. Sanders still showed the quickness and athletic ability to make some of the better defensive backs on the field play. Still, Sanders’ best upside is rushing the passer.

(Eric Nahlin) ICYMI: TE target heading to the other side of the Red River

The staff made things interesting for athlete Michael Henderson (Irving Ranchview), but not interesting enough for us to be posting a commitment story. OU got the early jump on this one in September when it took the lead and maybe even a silent commitment. They have a proven sell as a team that has made good usage of offensive utility players like Henderson. UT liked him for tight end/h-back, and it's possible he would have been the lone take in the cycle. I wouldn't expect the staff to reach to find a replacement. They'll evaluate nationwide as well as in state. Bummer. Really, really good athlete who would have been a nice piece. There will always be misses.
