like this kid a lot if he's close to that height. Good motor and quicks.

I think the coaches see him as being in the Callier/Sparaco mold. I'm expecting our base defense to get back to being a 3-4 with a nickel package instead of the Buff backer concept being our long-term plan as a main scheme. (I think Buff backer is mostly a wrinkle that fits Moeller's skill set and he's a guy we really want to have on the field.)

Surprising to me, but CU is recruiting for the "4" technique at DE. He looks like he has gotten bigger, though.

By quick (my comment above), I was thinking "quick for that DE slot", not OLB. If you look at Jackson and Mulumba, these are both guys who can really move well for the position. Better than Kafovalu or Carrell. That's certainly something that appears to be the trend.
You can make a guy bigger, but you can't really make him more athletic....
