I only watched a few minutes of his junior highlights, but he's like Thomas in that he rarely seems to protect the football while running, his passing looks pretty mediocre, doesn't seem to have crazy speed, and while he breaks a lot of shoestring tackles, that could be due to the size and skill of his competition which will obviously ramp way up at the next level. Hopefully I'm wrong and he ends up being spectacular.

Apparently the difference in his game between his junior and senior years is immense. He's apparently made a significant jump this season.

Pretty scathing analysis of a kid who's an Army All-American.
 
Arm does look suspect in junior film. But I wouldn't have guessed he was that big from the way he moves either. Great agility/burst for that size. Gotta be careful not to compare these guys to JT5 too soon though, he is a rare mix of running/passing. I think we may end up looking back on his arm with longing nostalgia before too long.

Northside Warner Robins plays at the highest level of GHSA (AAAAAA). They are 11-2 and play Tucker in the semifinals of the playoffs this weekend. His competition is very good.

He asked why nobody seemed interested in him, I provided possible reasons. He's also not an army all american, he was a nominee but did not make the cut to get on the roster.

That's fair enough, I didn't look at anything beyond the first few minutes of his junior film, and as others have said he has supposedly made a massive improvement in his senior season. He's obviously better than most of the players on the field even as a junior, and most of the things I picked as possible flaws are very fixable.
 
Came here to say that I wasnt impressed by his Junior film, but I looked at game films that appear to be from his Senior season, and yea, he does look MUCH improved in his passing mechanics, more controlled in his running/movement, and a little faster. It looks like he matured a lot in that one year and may have slid in under the radar. We might have actually found a nice hidden gem here. I'm not ready to proclaim him the next JT at QB, but I think he'd also make a nice receiver if QB doesnt work out.

Great Player...Has one football GHSA 5A State Championship(2014) and has his team still in GHSA 6A playoffs this year! Plays at Tucker next week!He holds offers from Army and GA Southern to play QB and holds offers from Troy and Mercer as an athlete.

He has been 100% GT from his first unofficial visit he took as a sophomore. High Character kid who is a 2016-17 Army All American with 4.4 speed and camped at GT this summer. He and his family have chosen not to play the star rating or media game during his High School Career. He just wants to win and play at the next level while getting a solid education and then go onto Medical or Law School. He committed last Tuesday to CPJ however did not announce until tonight as he did not want to be a distraction to his HS football game and COFH hate game!!
