WOW. What a class we are putting together.

I've seen him listed as DE/OLB, which makes sense as he doesn't seem to beefy. His highlights show him getting to QB pretty well. Think rushing the passer is his specialty. Had a couple MAC offers and a UC offer.

This guy looks ripped already. He is tall and lean at 220. Linebacker potential? A do-everything kind of End/LB? I like it.

Yeah I think he's up to about 240 with 4.6 speed.

I seem him bulking up to handle the bigger linemen at the FBS level, but not losing much speed. I see him as a DE that can be used for a zone blitz (DE and LB swap roles to confuse the offense, so the DE drops into coverage, while the linebacker blitzes).

I like this guy's potential. Also, I note that Ohio beat out 5 other FBS schools (Buffalo, UC, UTSA, Tulane, and EMU, plus 6 FCS schools. That's the story with most recruits this year. They mostly aren't under the radar guys, they are sought after recruits.

That's bigger than Tarell Basham was when he signed. Very good sign.

It's all about finding as much speed within a frame adequate for the position then developing the player. A lot of the guys that can lift the most weight play in DII or DIII because they don't have the speed.

By the way, I believe his first name is Ayoola, not Ayool, and his last name should be hyphenated. If so, the thread title should probably get corrected.

I know he is unrated, but I am surprised that more people aren't talking about this guy. I don't recall many, if any, passrushers coming into the program with a better tape than this guy. He gets into the backfield with ease against both the run and the pass and plays with a good motor. I would not be surprised at all if he sees the field early, at least in situational pass rush situations.
