    He had a nasty reputation as "Kreul" dude...

    If we sign him it's going to be... Life in the fast lane.

    He has 3 OV's left. Will most likely wait to announce during the season.

    He tweeted a video in an all Gator room (unless it was AI), the good guys are playing with house money.

    I read 230. Not bad for being a year away from fall practice. But is he really 230? What weight would we need from ILB? 230 seems light. 245ish seems solid.

    Just looked. Our heaviest ILB is 236. Myles Graham listed at 227.

    Not an ILB. 100% edge. He has moves perusing the Qb that are very advanced for where he is.

    He has plenty of size for ilb, but our current ilb are speedier. His only listed verified is pretty slow even for the position, but he is sudden and knows how to set guys up with moves. Maybe that time is an outlier.

    After watching Kruel's and Trenton Henderson's clips, Kruel looks like the better player. I'm guessing Kruel has received elite coaching for many years. His skills are significantly more refined than Trenton's.

    Luke Wafle looks like the most powerful of the three. He could outgrow the edge position.

    I'll take the Kruel/Wafle combo or the Kruel/KJ Ford combo.
