I may have said this earlier, but I think kid is a legit sleeper. He is a good football player and a good athlete. But what stood out to me was his bench press, which is ZERO. I played WR/DB/QB in high school and could bench 255, which if I remember right, is more than this kid can bench.
What's that tell me? He's Pericek all over again. A kid who is a good athlete, plays basketball, and has yet to get serious about weight lifting. He will redshirt but I think he's going to be a very good player down the road.
And I think he deserves the rating he got. He's a 2-star because there's too much "if" involved here. I saw him play on TV twice.
If he gets stronger.
If he puts on 40+ pounds.
If.....
But given the High School relationship we've built there and the HS coaches track record, I'd say this is pretty much the kind of kid Boise State goes for all day long. I like this kid and think he's going to be one heck of a Buff.
