LC, I'm with you. There has to be a story here.
I watched the video. Always hard to tell what level of competition on film, but given its Florida I have to believe it was good.
Langston seems to have good lateral speed and change of direction.
Did every other college think he was going to play another sport?
Seems to be great scouting by Ohio...Provitt could be a real steal in this recruiting year.
Agree with everything you say. It is amazing he didn't have offers. Have to wonder if he played so many positions that it was hard to pin him down position-wise. He is an "athlete" for sure.
I watched the videos again, and I think that the multiple sports and multiple positions may be be a part of his lack of offers, but I think that the thing that probably held the offers back was probably the stopwatch. I bet that, if you timed him, he only runs a 4.7 or so 40. He rarely, if ever, flat outruns anyone. The good news is that he runs a 4.7 forty backwards and sideways, too. ;)
Seriously, from watching the film, his best attributes are his toughness, his ability to see and understand what is going on on the field, his balance, his ability to accelerate in any direction at any time, and his ability to just make plays when they are needed. He is cool under fire, and just makes things happen.
I think he has the ability to make an immediate impact as a punt-returner, a position that calls for acceleration, ability to change direction, toughness, and field awareness. Beyond that, will he end up on defense or offense? I have no idea, but I bet he finds his way onto the field somewhere.
