Ambrose follows Coach Steptoe, so I assume he's involved in recruiting.

A position where some JUCO depth would be very helpful in 2019

I don’t want to get too off topic but good lord did I love that woman back in the day, she’s still insanely hot.

Vision is still 20/20 BuffsRock85.

This kid is from corn cob, western Ohio. College of the Desert is not exactly a football powerhouse either. This kid could be a good find.

I agree. Looks very explosive/disruptive in his FR film and certainly looked the part on his visit (it seems like he’s been doing a very good job adding good weight).

Hope we add him- certainly space on the depth chart for more JUCO dlinemen.

 

[BUFFS14]

I like this kid. Moves well, forward and sideways. He seems to get off blocks well, uses his hands, and has a nose for the ball, although I might question the caliber of competition.

We're in very good position right now. Got to watch whatever visits he schedules with a nervous eye, though.

 

[Duff Man]

Interesting update. We are kinda his leader.

 

[slider]

Jase Franke replacement imo

Interesting update. We are kinda his leader.

Definitely sounds like we're his leader because we're his "best" offer right now. If SC or Oregon, etc offer I would fully expect us to be moved to the side.

 

[DrunkRalphie]

Would be great to get commitments from Jackson and Robinson.

Jase Franke replacement imo

Yeah, if his weight is what it is listed, I am not sure I understand taking a JUCO at that size. Might be why everyone else is waiting?

USC sniffing around. Can't be that bad.

You’re not sure about taking a JUCO listed at 270?

 

[patebuff]

I think he’d be a spot player

 

[Coach Primes Burner]

 

[Medford M.]

I think he’d be a spot player

He could be 290 easy by next fall.

 

[buffaholic]

Given the staffs recent evals on d with Jcers......in!

 

[somebody]

I think he’d be a spot player

Based on weight? Already in range of these guys, at 6'4" 270:
Aaron Donald - 6'1" 280 lbs
JJ Watt - 6'5" 295 lbs
Calais Campbell - 6'8" 300 lbs
Chandler Jones - 6'5" 265 lbs
