He has zero technique but you can tell he has great feet. You are right for him it will be all about his work ethic. If he works hard he has a chance to be special.

You sure they could have pulled Mitch Parsons? If they liked him so much why not just shore it up by NSD? Seems to me he's a bit of a gamble, but I like it.

I know Mitch had interest and that he spoke to the staff and sent video. They didnt pursue him after that. They did however try to get Smythe around the same time. Pretty positive they could have gotten Mitch on campus. The staff could have probably got a kid like Travis Johnson out of Tampa too.
It was a numbers thing with Young. If they had room they were going to offer him. But if we had hit on every high profile target there just would not be room. I dont think they love him but they certainly are intrigued.
The staff kind of did the same thing with OJ. They had OJ in camp thought he was a good prospect but kept it quiet. Once David Dawson didn't visit the staff moved in gave him an offer and he was committing a few days later. Remember a day before his commitment FSU and Bama asked him to move it back. The staff did not want teams all over Young until it was time for him to commit to the Gators.

The old basketball axiom applies, you can't teach size.

I have always felt that if there is one position a basketball player could walk into football and play , it is tight end. youve got height, presumably good hands and hops and relatively quick and coordinated. You learn your routes and hopefully when and how to stay back and block , but imo, an easier position to pick up than tackle where you have to read blitz looks etc, work with other guys on the line and so on. The thing about TE is you are still a line player and if you learn the game, you could grow into the tackle spot.

LOL... let me assure you... Kyle will be @ UF for 2 more seasons! Unlike another SEC punter, he understands the value of an education and enjoys the entire college experience!

Thanks but I was pretty positive Kyle would get his degree before he left Florida. Great year he had, I know he must have put in a lot of work into getting the ball off quicker. I hope you get to see him collect the Ray Guy next year.

I think Trevon Young is a great Recruit to end up the 2013 Class. 29 is a good size class. I may be wrong but I think it's the largest in sometime.
