Uh, no, dude has defensive instincts that are rarer than a sober comment out of NorlaHorns mouth. The guy's upside is on defense, and I don't think it's close. 

I'm pretty sure your campaigning for this so in 2 years can comment negatively on how he was better served on the defensive side of the ball. Trying to play the Long Satya, are we?

You've got a magical way with words....but...*you're, lol

Reminder, this dude is a sophomore playing Texas 5A competition

Jesus.

Being a former QB I usually tend to say "put 'em on offense", but no, not with this guy. For his age he has great defensive instincts, and a nose for the ball you don't see very often.  Very impressive young man.

Why not both? Let him play nickel, get some time at slot, and return kicks. We need to maximize elite athletes like this.

If/When JoJo Earle comes to Texas, he will be our HWR.

Sounds reasonable, as long as it's not overdone to the point of taking away from his defensive effectiveness.

At the very least, return punts and kicks.

is he a cb, safety, apb, slot, bad-ass-motherfucker?

After watching the first three plays of his huddle, I'm thinking he's an extraterrestrial. Anyone who has ever played defense has dreamed of making those pics and taking them to the house.

It doesn't really seem like he cares about arbitrary distinctions like "offense" or "defense." It doesn't matter why the ball ISN'T in the other team's end zone or who happens to have "possession" at any given moment. His job is to make sure the ball IS in the other team's end zone at the end of every play.

Jesus Christ, this kid knows where the ball is going before the QB has even decided where he wants it to go. I can't count the number of times on that highlight reel he's lined up as a man-to-man corner, and he makes a free-safety type play. Holy fuck.

Okay.  This is the kind of early take you fucking celebrate.  And I’m no Daddy98-level tape evaluator, but wow.  This dude can play the game.

No need to say anybody was a wreck, especially not a kid. Totally unnecessary and inappropriate.

This times 1000. He just looks so natural out there at DB. As electric as he is with the ball, his ability to sniff out screens and track the ball are elite and then some. Especially when you consider that he's ONLY A SOPHOMORE. HUGE pickup.
