Was he originally an OL/DL recruit out of high school?

[Getafix 28358]

Harlem Berry was supposed to commit tomorrow, but has now pushed it back to January 3rd.  Probably still LSU, but definitely wish this was a guy we could get.

Also, IT said to expect Dakorian Moore at Jr Day.

Be interesting to see if that kid is a take for Flood.

The name "lynx" originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word lynx (λύγξ), derived from the Indo-European root leuk- ("light", "brightness"), in reference to the luminescence of its reflective eyes.

He seems like a novelty more than a prospect. If you want to take him as the last linemen in the class for the media hype he gets for his size as a "hype" type thing, sure. 

[Post Oak 20068]

We've seen Becton be able to reshape bodies fairly quickly (Agbo). I wonder about his athleticism now and what it looks like after he loses weight. 

My concern would be his height and his ability to catch up with speed rushers.

He’s not exactly what I would call nimble….

[Atticus 3892]

He moves well enough for his size and he'll move better as he reshapes his body. He just needs to learn how to move his body well enough to be effective. Not many OL, D1 or not, are gonna be able to get back in position after getting caught flat footed on a stunt

[Elmer_Fudd 22002]

Assuming we are taking two TE's this class, who do you guys prefer as the second take?  Flipping Smith probably helps more with Kiotti Armstrong from Jasper.  The SLC kid and recent offer from Dekaney.

I know Armstrong is the highest rated but he doesn't look like he can jump well and doesn't look fast at all. He's a physical specimen though!

 

I think I'd lean toward the SLC kid of those 3. He uses his body well and appears to be a better blocker vs similar competition while finishing the blocks with a nasty streak. Would be a nice fit with Winston.

Alabama, Georgia, Florida. Our next 2025 commit must be coming from The Bahamas.

Holy shit! at the 2:32 mark I have never seen a kid take a knee for a sack in order to avoid getting hit by this monster. HAHA!

Not saying he will end up the same, but Warren Sapp came to mind watching that film. An athletic ball bowl of a prospect. The natural power is obvious

He is 100% a take for Flood. He has been all over him.

I have never seen a guy put that many offensive linemen flat on their backs with bullrush. His power is incredible.

Brown gets low leverage in the majority of the snaps and is strong as shit with plus athleticism. Once he cleans up getting too far downfield on some plays then he'll be cookin with gas.

[TXpride 532]

I'd rather take a flier on a kid like Washington than a low ceiling Centex type. Give him a couple years with Becton and Flood and see what happens.

[Chili dog 1787]

Brown is a complete freak. He reminds me of Kramer in the Karate class with 8-year olds.

Does Billy always have a Longhorn on his guitar? I have never noticed that before. Pretty badass.

The best part is that he isn't even close to maximizing his natural ability yet. Wait until he gets developed (hopefully in Austin). 

[Leanderman 2207]

"He seems like a novelty more than a prospect. If you want to take him as the last linemen in the class for the media hype he gets for his size as a "hype" type thing, sure. "

Goal line fullback. You can imagine the look on some poor DB's face when they sweep off the edge.

Especially in the weight room and with nutrition. My understanding is that Florida public schools don’t have a “UIL” period where kids are lifting weights. If that’s true and this kid is doing all this hell-raising on natural strength, he’s going to explode with some training. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22002]

South on 247 says Brown hasn't visited yet (will next month).  His older brother is 6'5, so he probably isn't done growing.  Also said he has two relatives that played at Florida (Sunbelt Billy continues to be the gift that keeps on giving).
