Ms KingKid went to head to head with the nation's best all summer. He was pretty impressive against MC last year. How many 6-5 300+ linemen block and recovered punts?
Like Osbourne a lot... Explosive athlete. Also like Kendall. Colon not even the best DT in his own conference last year let alone the state or country. Gap controller with some upside if he gets the motor running.
All of the 3 above are good to great football players. The kind that NC turns out just about every year now. Lot of potential.
Lawrence is a once every 10 year kind of kid which is why his services are coveted by every school in the country. Difference maker on the next level and immediate impact guy. Not quite Clowney but close.
+1I've never attended any of the camps and don't keep up with the recruiting services all that much, but here's my uneducated, watched-it-happen take on things...
I watched all-state DT Jalen Cousar from Butler - who had one of the most explosive first steps for a guy his size (6'-1" 295 lbs) that you're ever going to see on the high school level - wreak havoc for a quarter in the MC backfield during the teams' first meeting last year. MC then adjusted their blocking schemes where they started pulling and trapping Cousar on some plays and straight up double teaming him on others, and they largely neutralized him for the next two quarters. The 4th qtr, too, although the 90+ degree temps that day were going to do their number either way.
In the state title game, MC tried single blocking, double teaming and pulling and trapping all...but nothing really seemed to work in that game. MC would get Lawrence blocked good on one play, but then Lawrence would beat two blockers and blow a play up on the next. He'd beat a straight double team on one play, and then he'd beat a trap block on the next. This went on pretty much the entire game. He made a serious believer out of me watching that performance, because MC's linemen aren't exactly chopped liver (for those of you who live under a rock, 3 of MC's returning linemen who played in that title game have SEC scholarship offers at the moment). I don't think I've ever seen that many quality linemen have that much trouble getting one player blocked before.
