I wonder if he'll be a FB or DT.
He indicated in his previous interviews that he was told that FB was discussed, but that he’d be open to playing another position. We’ll see.

He will likely be
used at fullback, but could easily grow into a hybrid linebacker/DE edge rusher. From watching his film, I would say the latter is not far fetched at all. He is extremely strong, quick and agile and appears to have a nose for the ball on D. As a FB, he has good balance and surprising elusiveness in the open field for such a big kid. Another solid get.
Just received the email from BRO on this and was going to post.

“I know Coach [Noel] Mazzone has never used a fullback much in his offense before. I had people telling me that he didn’t use one at ASU, but they told me they’ll be running a lot of pro sets and run multiple offenses. The biggest thing Coach Mora told me was, ‘why would we want to use a scholarship on you if we didn’t plan to use you.’ That made a lot of sense to me and I’m ready to go."
Jet Ski will be happy...
