    6'0 245 3 star fullback out of lake Gibson, Florida Commited today according to rivals. Listed as a Dt but says fb on the tigerbait page. Copeland's eventual replacement should be a good one

    Sounds like a hitter.

    I thought he was kinda small for a D-tackle. Was wondering.

    nice to see Corey Raymond's experience in recruiting Florida paying off

    i see Swanson has an offer to Southern Cal, and and the guy recruiting him is Ed Orgeron, their DL coach. i wonder if they were recruiting him as a fullback or if they think he has the frame to put on a lot more weight for DT

    it's also worth noting that the guy recruiting him for Miami, Jethro Franklin, is their DL coach... and the guy recruiting him for Ole Miss, Chris Kiffin, is their DL coach

    but, I thought Copeland was going to be on our DL, esp. since his highlights were so good, and this guys highlights are very similar to Copeland's, so i'm not surprised if this is his replacement at FB when he's gone...

    Only nine slots left I think. Somebody is going to get caught up in the numbers game this year for sure. If you want a seat on this train, better not wait too long.

    Looks more like a DE or an outside backer than a DT.

    My thoughts exactly, Red. 6'2, 240+ and runs really well. Stand him up on the edge and say "sic 'em!"

    ha. that's funny. before we offered him, they all had him ranked as a DT

    now Rivals has him the #1 FB in the nation and ESPN has him the #2 FB in the nation
