After watching his film, Sorrell can play and will only get better.  Big framed guy that will fill out and can move.  Play him inside and he'll be plenty quick.  He can be a little upright at times but seems like he has some flexibility, motor and finds the ball.  I don't think the spin move will translate to the college game but he'll get stronger and learn a swim or punch.  He's a good get and a nice consolation surprise for the Dline.

Wow.  According to 247, he was a 3-star and the 111th ranked d lineman in the country.

He was a signing day last guy in the class throw in. Sometimes those guys really work out.

It’s amazing how some take to “coaching,” coupled with Strength and Training programs that turn that 3-star Coal into a Diamond. Gary Patterson was the best at that over the last two+ decades.

Hook’em!!!

Hook’em!!!

We had a walk-on turn All-American this year.

It's amazing what a staff who can recruit AND develop talent can do.

Doesn't have the explosiveness or bend to be a great pass rusher, IMO, but he sets the edge well and has some heavy hands at the point of contact.  In terms of the type of NFL player he could turn out to be, I think Brian Robison might be a good comparison.  BRob started out as a sub and made himself into a solid starting LDE as a good run defender who (in his peak years) could also get you 5-9 sacks per year along with plenty of pressures and QB hits coming from the left edge.

Not sure you are giving Robison enough credit. The dude could fly off the edge. Sorrell doesn't have that kind of twitch, but he should be able to set a hard edge and just grind some poor RT down all game.

If I remember correctly, Robison could block FGs/PATs like a mofo, because that guy could get up!

Yeah Robison was a bit of an athletic freak.

I'm comparing Sorrell and BRob in terms of the type of career Sorrell might have, i.e., what i think his ceiling as a pro likely is.  I'm not necessarily comparing them with regard to individual attributes.

Really hope he can have a long career like BRob.  His Mom and brother came by our tailgate a couple of times over the last two seasons and they are really nice folks.  Not surprised at the schools he was considering (see above), the brother is in finance in NYC.
