Recruiting Show: Texas Class Continues To Grow, 5-Stars On Flip Watch

- What's going on y'all? Welcome back to the Cover 3 podcast, we're proving show at the Andrew Ivan's director of Scouting for 24/7 Sports National Director. I was what's going on, buddy.

- Not much, bud. Hey, I'll tell you this Saturday night. My first or one of my first thoughts about halfway through that Texas game is,

“I think Jeremiah Smith's going number one.”

Overall, in the 2027 NFL drafts. And I've been waiting for someone to put that takeout there, so I'm owning it now. I think he's going to go number one. - I think that's entirely fair, man.

Like, people are like, I feel in the ball to Jeremiah too much. Like, they're getting 11 yards of target. Like, build the whole plane out of Jeremiah. He's box office, right? Like, yeah.

- Just what he's able to do in these type of games now,

you know, when it's not a powerful or a opponent,

but man, just how he gets open, everything he does, it's a lot of fun. Like, I don't think we realize how special what we are watching. I mean, he could start for, I think,

all 32 NFL teams next week if that was possible. - 100% agree. Like, the guy is just physically unreal, coming down in the ball, getting open like that. That was an awesome game, you know,

we could talk about like the mismanagement potentially or interesting management choices at the end. But like, yeah, like Jeremiah was box office. And you know, our arch, by the way, like down this stretch, made some, we're probably talking a little bit differently

about him if Coleman Halls in that ball, as opposed to making an intersection there in the first quarter, but, you know, two former five stars really ballin' out.

Which gets us into our first block today,

we want to talk a little little recruiting news. No flips yet, but certainly DJ Jacob, as Ohio State Edge commit, is a guy that I know personally, I mean, you've heard as well. A lot of teams think that they have a shot to flip.

And so over the weekend, DJ Jacob's did indeed visit Georgia. What do you got for us on that? - Yeah, number one player in the top two, four, seven, and but every time I turn on the tape, I feel like I'm watching a highlight tape.

I'm talking about like full games. I mean, DJ Jacob's, it's just making plays, making plays, making plays, and he was at Georgia on Saturday. And it's kind of a unique situation. He is a UGA legacy.

And he's got a younger brother in the class of 2028. So those would be the high school juniors. And he's a top two, four, seven defense alignment. And he's going through recruiting process. I don't think they've officially said packaged deal

or anything like that. I mean, they're not twins in any way. So a good chance I can end up at different schools, but as Dawson, Jacob's goes out and towards different colleges this fall.

DJ is coming along with him. And this is a kid that committed to Ohio State back in December. And he kind of shut things down. He picked Ohio State over Miami.

A lot of people thought Miami was going to be the choice, but he's going to be on the road. And Georgia's the first one that got him on campus, Ben Wolk for 24, seven sports reported over the weekend that he thinks everything still signals, hey,

this kid's going to end up at Ohio State. But Gabby Arudia, at the Miami site, reported that the Jacob's brothers are going to be at Hard Rock Stadium for the Florida State Game in a few weeks.

“I believe the duo is also going to be at Oregon this up”

coming weekend. So I think this is one to monitor. And obviously it's number one player in the class, bud. But to me, this guy is just so unique. Initially, I thought, OK, maybe he's more of an edge

or usher of Ohio State was telling him, hey, you could be an R-Vell Reese. We're going to play you at Linebacker. I thought maybe more IDL long term, a guy that's going to play get more interior looks.

And I'm back kind of out of Crossroads. I don't know where Jacob's just going to link to line up. I know it's going to be somewhere in the front, seven. And I think he's going to wreck havoc. But at blessed Trinity this fall, they've been kind of using

a microlinebacker on some situations as well. So just an unreal individual. And a guy that's playing really well here as a 12th grader. The displacement of other humans when he makes contact with them is fantastic.

These guys just go flying, man. It's on a real. The one clip we had there, literally, like the tackle,

“I think both feet are off the ground as he just kind of”

ejects him from the protection plan. I did CBS TV on Saturday night with a guy named Kevin Carter. And we were talking about different players from what on college and where they project the NFL.

He's like, man, sometimes the answer is just just simple.

Just let them be a strong side end in a four, three. And let them be real meaningful in the run game. And also getting favorite matchups in the past rush game. If he's six, we think he's six, five, two, 40 lists on just 24, seven, profile.

But if he can be six, five, two, 75.

Sometimes you're best guys, what makes special is the ability to stay outside with insider size. And there's been guys like that we've seen in history. I think he's more quick twitched than like a Mara Edwards Jr. was.

But a lot of that was like, was this guy going to have to kick in size? He's going to have to be a detackle. I was like, well, no, not until he proves they can't play outside. I mean, if you can put that serious size on the outside,

that's all the times differentiator. This is an exciting prospect. Reading Georgia's the main threat here. I think it's Miami, right? And that's just me reading the T-Leaves here.

It's been a while since Georgia has got one of these five stars to stay home. Now Kirby Smart has certainly done it.

“But if you want to talk about the shifting landscape”

in college football recruiting and with the name

image and likeness, these kids are looking around. I mean, Sammy Browns, a guy that Georgia really wanted and he ended up at Clemson. So usually you think, hey, with the legacy prospects, it's kind of a fast break lay up.

And usually it's not the case. I would keep an eye on Miami and Jason Taylor, a point of attack focused program. So was Georgia, so was Oregon. But they sunk 13th in there.

They thought they were going to get him back in December before he picked Ohio State. And then the last thing on DJ Jacobs, not in the highest classification there in Georgia, they took on a Milton squad a few weeks ago.

They got a 235 pound quarterback headed to Tennessee and Derek Baker and DJ took over that game. And it was highlight play after highlight play.

So someone's going to be getting a good one.

No doubt. All right, let's also go to another prospect who's committed to the big 10. And that is Dakota Grant, top 247, five star receiver. Visit Michigan over the weekend, didn't see a high-flying

passing show, but certainly a great atmosphere as Michigan pulls the upset over Oklahoma. You know, he's obviously committed to Oregon, but visit Michigan, being Michigan's got a shot here and what do we like about Dakota?

Yeah, I mean, Tom Lloyd, National Insider for 247 sports seems to think so. And I think what I wrote down here, but is, hey, Michigan's got to figure out this passing attack, right?

JJ Buchanan, Andrew Marsh, talented players. Those guys have 13 catches through two games. No other receiver has caught a pass for Michigan. I don't even know if any of them have been targeted. And you look into Dakota Grant, number one player

in the state of Michigan. So this is guy right in Wolverine's backyard. Previous staff was in on him, Kyle Whittinghand comes in. Michigan thought they're going to get an official visit. Doesn't come to fruition.

He picks Oregon and now they seem to be back and involved in. Wide receivers have a really big need for the Wolverines. And I've just rattled off. Hey, only 13 catches for the wide receivers.

“I think a lot of people are going to point to Bryce”

under wood, but when I look at that roster, I look at that wide receiver room. It's not deep. And they got one wide receiver, right now in the class of 2027.

So those would be the seniors in Quentin Braille. He's been awesome as a senior guy that's going to be at the Navy All-American Bowl, but they need to be throwing numbers at this situation. And to me, Dakota Grant reminds me a little bit of Donovan

People's Jones, if you remember, the former Michigan. Yeah, well, another guy from the state of Michigan, you know, thick kind of inside outside receiver. And what stands out about Dakota, you'll see him here making a bunch of contested grabs.

And that was the case all offseason at the OT 7 on 7 tournament. But he heats up after the catch. And he's a guy that is difficult to bring down with his acceleration and his power and his momentum. And, you know, again, Michigan's got to get it going.

So certainly one to monitor here. I think over the next few months, especially, we don't know what's going to happen with Oregon. And what it looks like coming off that loss to Oklahoma state just in terms of, hey,

is there going to be a coordinator change? There's going to be a philosophy shift. So Michigan chipping away here.

“And he could solve, I think, a big problem”

for Kyle Wittingham and Co. And obviously, you mentioned the contested catches and the run after catch. We don't like when guys are only contested catch. Like he obviously has the ability to get open too.

And I think some of those after catch traits will probably continue to showcase himself as it becomes even better route runner too. It's usually red flag. It's just contested catch at high school.

I know you know this. I'm just saying this for the audience at home. But like they'd go to the get open and then also when you're not that open to make yourself open. Like going vertically by winning those balls is key it.

We're going to continue modernism. Those are solid updates.

Let's go now at the Lone Star State.

Let's check in on Texas's class. All right, back here on the cover three podcasts recruiting show with Andrew Ivman's National Director of Scouting for 24/7 sports. So Ivman, we were talking to a pre show

how awesome that game was there Ohio State Texas. You actually saw a lot of the studs from Texas class in 2021. I play quite a bit against Ohio State on Saturday night. Texas obviously looking at the pulling what they're six

straight top 10 class. Understeves our keys and the arcade fill-ups. Like it's Jackson Grace and Littleton all played to your notes here over 40 snaps on defense. And against Ohio State, you know, Winston had three catches.

And it's, if you're going to pay these guys out of high school, you kind of got to play them.

Otherwise, it's, you know, dead money on your roster for a year.

And sometimes it's just opportunity cost

“that you have to go ahead and absorb like for the guys”

have the crazy upside, but a little bit raw. But it's good to see, I think, for Texas, some of these young guys playing and making a real meaningful impact early. Absolutely, bud, right?

I mean, certainly of right different ways to a symbol and build a roster that's going to contend for a spot in the college football playoff and Texas has a bunch of transfers out there that are different, make a reverse, but to me,

kind of like one of my takeaways, Sunday morning, and a drink in the coffee going through the PFF is, man, a lot of those guys from that number one rank recruiting class two years ago played. I mean, you just highlighted a lot of them Grace and Littleton,

the interception there at the end, man. He was awesome and awesome coming out. And you said it, Texas right now, sitting number five in the rankings. And to me, when I look at this group, where's the strength?

It's at the point of attack. And we haven't talked about this guy on cover three, we don't normally talk about offensive linemen, but Ismail, Kamara, they call him the French freak. This is a kid that was born in France, moved here two years ago.

He's the headliner, five star interior offensive linemen. As a senior now, he is playing kind of a little bit of everything. They use him as an H-back, they use him as a tight end, they use them as a defensive tackle. And he is 65, he is pushing 350 pounds.

And this was a huge win for the long horns. Oregon was involved. Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M.

So basically, all the big spenders wanted the French freak

and he's committed to Texas. He's playing the air in East Texas high school football.

“A guy that's probably going to need some time, right?”

He's still learning this game, but the genetics are there in terms of the size and he's a big wide individual. What I watch him, what I love is he finishes. As a move blocker, they get him out there, shoot him into space, and he gets guys in the ground.

So I love him on offense. I think he's the big headliner there. And then on defense, Kassai Curry, defensive linemen out of the state of California, reminds me a lot of one of the current long-horned defensive tackles

in here, OK, no, I saw Kassai two weeks ago down in Florida, the Broward Showcase, just an instigator there in the middle, not a lot of guys in the class of 27 that are built like him. And some I've realized here, over the ever since, Texas

has moved into the SEC, we see them more in the state of Florida and just recruiting nationally that brand. And I think you can do that when you have a guy like Archmitting that everyone knows. So impressive group starts at the point of attack

that I just want to give a shout out to the offensive fire power that they have on the way.

“Not surprising, with Steve Sarpese and Paul”

and the strings there. We've talked about Eastern Royal, the five-star wide receiver. He was in Austin over the weekend. LSU's working to flip him. That's a kid that's from there in the boot.

And then Landon Williams, Kailus, run and back, but this was the 24/7 sports preseason national player of the year. He's related to former Oregon State running back. Jack West Rogers, this guy entered his senior season

with over 7,500 rushing yards. He could finish as the all-time leader in Texas and you think about the long horns, right? We saw Hollywood's mothers. They got relief brown there.

They like Derek Cooper, the young running back, they got. But there's going to be an opportunity for LWC to play in 27. And as much as we talk about David Gabriel, George's and command spell in this class of 2027 with the running backs, Landon Williams Kailus

is not far behind them. You see, run and back, number three, number 38 overall. So a lot of potential difference makers in this group for Texas. And of course, tied in Brock Williams as well.

I will say, they got another receiver. I know you and I chatted up when we were out of the opening. I just, this kid, when I watched him be popped, Bryson Throward, is that how we say this guy's name?

Come on, bud.

Dude, yeah, Bryson Throward.

I just think this guy has real juice, man. He goes up, he makes plays. I think there's something really there. Obviously, our rating, as a company, a way higher on him than the composite score elsewhere.

So clearly, we see something in him at 24/7 sports. But I got, I just think this guy has serious potential. I would co-sign that. And bud, this is why we travel around the country and go to camps.

And yeah, it shirts and shorts and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it's not real football.

“Bryson Throward at the opening regional and Dallas, right?”

It was Memorial Day weekend last one on the circuit. Didn't really know much about him. Saw him go through like four different releases. And I'm like, right, not number down up. Who is this individual?

He has six foot three, over six, three, 185 pounds. Now, the thing is with Bryson Throward as a junior, only had 500 yards receiving, five touchdowns. And you're like scratching your head because it doesn't add up when you see him going through

one on one. Well, it turns out, yeah, his high school quarterback as a junior, that was legend Bay, who is now catching passes for Ohio State. And as described as like a Percy Harvin type of weapon

for the buck eye. So he hasn't maybe been in the best situation to showcase his talent in pads. Now he's off to a good start here as a senior. But yeah, it feels weird, call him the number 21 wide receiver

in the country, a sleeper. But to me, this is the guy that's not talked about enough in Texas's class, rare size, speed combo guy that can get vertical stack db's and then attack that post. So big fan of Bryson Throward.

I'm excited to watch a continue to evolve as a senior for sure. And then if they're going to put a little cherry on top on this class, right, might involve a flip because we know a huge percentage of the top 24/7 right now in the class of 2027 has already committed these deals.

We moved fast and furious earlier than they ever have. What about Kentucky Lineback, Chris Sean Fox? Not to make Kentucky fans all mad here. But certainly, we know Texas continues to be involved with here. But I love this kid.

OK, G for 24/7 sports in the scouting department. So we had him at the Navy All-American Bull back in January. Had him at the opening finals in June. That's when he committed to Texas live on the CBS sports set. And so we put him through the ringer multiple times

in terms of measuring him. And this is a kid that has added 20 pounds. Has grown in inch in like six months. And we list him as a linebacker. That's because he primarily played off the ball.

But now is the senior at war in central. They got him on the ball. And he's got 35 tackles in four games. And Kentucky has one here. I said it on the set when he picked Will Stein

in the Wildcats, like this guy bed on the size, figured out later, and he's only gotten more comfortable in his skin. Kind of reminds me of Greg Russo. If you remember him at Miami, that started at safety.

Got closer and closer to the line of scrimmage.

“That's what you want to do with these individuals.”

And as Mani Diaz told me about Greg Russo,

you always bet on the size.

So Sean Fox, Kentucky, hold it on here. Texas involved. I wouldn't be surprised if more of these CFP teams start kind of sniffing around here and trying to pry him away because there's just not a lot of guys with his link.

They can come around the corner, flatten, and get the quarterback. So we'll see if Kentucky holds on. They certainly have plenty of playmakers there in the Bluegrass State. But Texas, this would be a nice shot of life

into that recruiting class. And what a weekend it happens on campus. I mean, like you don't start hot, but you finish super strong. Some of the social media clips, it looks like

those guys had a time after the game for sure. Kamagi, the number one player in 2028, was in town, you know, Bryce and Wright, your number one receiver in 2028, Kim from our backyard here in Florida,

you know, jail in the die, the number two receiver in 2028, as well. That is what Joseph had died. There's some relationship to Joseph Dyer. He's his son or it's his son, bud.

And yeah, I think it's ways away.

“I think Bryce and Wright, jail in a die,”

it's gonna be a battle there for wide receiver one.

And then, hey, the third rank wide receiver,

jet Harrison, Marvin Harrison, brother. So jail in a die to me, he is a bouncy, bouncy individual, but you're right. You know, we talked about Texas, hey, top five recruiting class.

This year could be the six year in a row. In 2028, the framework is there. It may be potentially, you know, challenge for another number one ranked class of it all comes together.

- Dude, I'm excited to see what Texas can do.

You know, and that's not always something

I feel like they've shown.

“And then maybe they're really turning a corner”

with that under shark. So I'm curious to see, shoot if they click. Who's better, you know? But then for like the last one, it's that game. They absolutely clicked.

We'll hit our second break here. On the flip side, we'll take our medicine. We'll take a look at, maybe a guy we missed on who's, you know, like wish we had that one back, potentially, and why.

All right, back here on the cover three recruiting show with Andrew Ivins, director of scouting for 24/7 sports. So 24/7 gets a lot of them right. And this is a hard thing to do. It's not just picking your favorite seat.

You got to put ratings on Dan there, every player out there, 1000s of kids a year,

“we'll get a rating, and even though I think the ratings”

are awesome, and they have real predictive value. Occasionally, there are somebody who slips through the cracks.

And I've always enjoyed kind of going through the why.

Like, I've got a whole spreadsheet of it going back years. Like, okay, a lot of times it's home town under $3,000. People, high school under 500 enrollment, late growth spurred post-high school, like for judging these guys for like, you know, come in and tell a draft time.

Like, my stuff says it's not really great practice to predict somebody to gain 25% additional body mass after high school, but it does happen sometimes. Like, the late growth perk guys are the weird birthday guys. Some international kids where it's hard to benchmark,

like, exactly what the competition level is. Thankfully, a lot of them come over to, you know, some of the boarding schools now, you know, years ago, you really had not much to go off. But we have one here, Ivins.

And if you watched Oregon State Houston, I had over as a pick for the show in that one, that hit, thankfully, just 'cause I wasn't sure about Houston's defense, but you watched your like damn. Oregon State's quarterback can play.

It might be a little bit of a threat in the past 12. And they keep spamming this kid named Jesse McGree, who, you know, wasn't like he was a two star or a no star. He was a three star, right? But right now, he's leading the encephalators,

which is pretty solid for a true freshman and continue to ball out in the rain against Texas Tech over the past weekend. So what, what's the background we have here on Jesse McGree?

- Yeah, I put this in the rundown, but I said the miss question mark. I don't know if we miss on Jesse McGree. I will tell you where I miss. When I did the preseason freshman all American team,

I had Jesse McGree on there. I had him on there. I had him on there and then someone talked me out of it.

“And that same individual, I think it was second quarter”

of the Texas Tech game. They texted me and said, yeah, sorry for maybe under selling what Jesse the grie is. This guy is electric and he was the number 96 rank athlete for us three star recruit.

But we had him with a grade of in '86. And that means we thought, hey, power for starter. And Brian Done at 24/7 sports, actually, had a great story. I think it was like three days after signing day

about Jesse the grie. He went to St. Francis Academy, one of the talent rich programs in the entire country. They had 14 guy signed day one of the early signing period. Jesse the grie was not one of them.

That coaching staff there had to work and work and to find him a spot, eventually that new Oregon state staff reached out, hey, we'll take him and Jesse the grie. Signed with Oregon state sight unseen.

on that campus, he has been a difference maker.

I think during spring practices, like he had 30 explosive plays and someone told me the next closest player had 12 explosive plays. So they knew he was going to break out. And a guy that's just maybe, hey, on the smaller side,

you know, five, nine and a half, 156 pounds is what we had. Now he was a four, three, nine guy on the lasers and going through our notes, Hudson Stand is on the scouting team. You know, when we graded him as an '86, right? So we thought he was a power for player with no power for offers.

We thought he was going to play corner. That's what he was playing as a junior and then made the switch to why receiver, as a senior. And the game everyone remember, remembers, excuse me. Not a few college coaches texted me about this one.

Is in the overtime, national championship against corner Canyon.

“I don't know if you remember that, but it was on ESPN.”

He had six catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.

Also had a kick off return touchdown and a 40-yard punk return touchdown. So yeah, we probably wished we had a little bit higher, but we knew there was a chance he was going to be electric. And now I think every personnel department

around the country probably has the name Jesse Ligri on that whiteboard as a potential transfer target. Yeah, this is Oregon State right now. Like, start passing the hat now to make sure that they can find a way to hold on, you know,

Jesse Ligri, which, you know, within IL, maybe there, maybe they're able to do so. I will give you guys a 24/7 sports credit. The highest rating on him, you know, by a good bit. 97 on the athlete, for 24/7, the industry composite,

118, 31 in Maryland, 35 in the composite. So still mainly higher than the rest of the industry there, with, you know, so we ain't gonna get them all, but look, we've already done our homework. We've already realized how, what, where do we miss here?

And I remember texting back and forth while it's in standard today after that game. Hey, should we make this get higher? And I don't know for some reason we just, we just froze up, but man, Oregon State's got one.

And certainly one of the better stories here.

“I think through two weeks of the college football season.”

I'm looking, trying to pull up on Max Prep's, the stats for St. Francis passing, 'cause they had a couple of past catchers last year. Good luck. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, like, the sometimes guys on a super loaded team can hide. Like, we have seen this with a coin as kids before, and you would think the high school is going to play like the best receiver and spam him quite a bit. But sometimes you have, you know, like multiple good

past catchers on a team. So the numbers necessarily don't pop from a production standpoint for sure. That was a fun one, man. I'm interested to see, shoot.

Once it gets into a packed 12 play, man, if he stays out, they can have a field day. Also wanna talk about a new find, and if you can know about this kid congrats, you are absolutely wanna, like,

the most die-hard recruiting fans in the country, 'cause Ivan's, we're gonna talk a class of 2029 player, which means a guy has several years of high school left. Quite obviously, that's quarterback, Ty Snill,

three-0 in the first three weeks as the starter at Allen High School.

Obviously, a lot of good players around Allen, y'all may know a dude named Kyle Murray, who at one point was a very good quarterback there for Allen High School in Texas. He's beaten Duncan Villas, beat the soda,

that is beaten South Lake Carroll, as your note here says they have it come out in 15 state title. That's not a bad start, man. What do we love about tonight, Ty Snill? - Yeah, but I can't believe I'm doing this,

but kinda calling my shot here with Ty Snill, and this is a high school sophomore,

“but I think he is going to be potentially the number one quarterback”

in this class, and he's going to be a national recruiting. He's a kid that already reports over 30 scholarship offers, what is the scholarship offer? I'm just saying, traded some texts about what he was able to do against South Lake Carroll.

I think a lot of schools are going to push all the chips in four Ty Snill, and he's the number two quarterback for us like I said, and we ranked him there, he didn't start any varsity games last season. He backed up a senior at Allen High School

that ended up signing with Florida Atlantic. What I saw against South Lake Carroll, given his age and he's age appropriate in that class, one of the best performances, one of the best games I have seen from a sophomore, just his ability

to get the ball out time, deliver from a variety of different platforms, get it around the yard, and then I think some of his best stuff came on the move with his balance, with his precision on the run, so very, very encouraging through three games.

He's completing 71.4% of his passes. You've said it, 638 yards, nine touchdowns, and just two interceptions. We loved what we saw from him on the camp circuit. Again though, we need some like on-field contacts.

got to actually play football.

Well, we have seen it now from Ty Snill. I don't think anyone in the country has had a good of a start to a sophomore season. The quarterback ranked ahead of him, CJ Cypher, he has been just as productive through the air.

“I think there's maybe a little bit more to Ty Snill,”

but hey, CJ Cypher, he's already committed to Miami. Sounds like he might jump eventually into the class of 2028. I think when that happens, Ty Snill is going to be quarterback one for us in the class of 2029. And he was that Texas A&M on Saturday.

Talking with Tom Lloyd, who just spoke with Ty Snill, Ohio States in there, Oregon's in there, Tennessee's in there. U.S. season there, he camped there in Los Angeles this summer. So I know it's early, but a name to know Ty Snill. He's got the prototypical frame, super clean mechanics,

footwork, all that stuff, and a guy to certainly start getting

familiar with, because you're me hearing a lot about him

over the next two years. And it's not just some of the physical here. Like the ball is out on time. He seems to, and these are highlights. So we're going to showcase the good plays,

but a lot of these good plays are as a result of him seeming like understanding where the ball is supposed to go, getting on time. It's not just, hey, this guy's a freak athlete. He runs around.

“He launched the ball down field some, which is awesome,”

but also there's a lot more development has to go. It's just pretty polished up from a 29, man. It is, but I've been watching a lot of senior quarterbacks. I'm talking about full game breakdowns. And then you just flip on Ty Snill.

You're like, whoa, OK, this gets me a little bit excited. Aero's pointing up, or maybe some of the others, the aero's pointing down. So yeah, I would agree advanced is probably a word I would use. Now, still some things to clean up, and a lot can change,

but either he's going to fill into that six foot three frame and the anticipation, the timing, it's there right now. That's what you want to see. No doubt about it. All right, let's hit our final break here.

On the flip side, we're going to talk with the will, echoes, Ole Miss, deep into lime. It's making a big time impact. And a guy that Ivan says has been quite high on for some time. We're going to talk why, and what we can expect from him

against LSU this weekend and going forward. On and give this side 2013, we're staying in Farad Bucleidung here. The biggest advantage of Shopeefei for me is that we don't need any technical reasons for this.

We can all talk about the background and the front end. And as soon as we go to Farad Bucleidung, we're going to talk about Farad Bucleidung, then we're going to talk about the real Farad Bucleidung. It's simply the reason for that.

Our whole journey is over Shopeefei. Now, let's start our next test on Shopeefei.com. All right, back here on the cover three recruiting show with Andrew Ivan's of 24/7 sports nationals. It's got an director.

All right, so Will Eccles, big time player for Old Miss. Guy, they retained obviously in the office. He's everybody wanted him old Miss Whitman with battle and we're able to keep him there in Oxford. If Old Miss can spring the very small ups,

and obviously the spread here is on under three as we speak. And they can spring that ups at this weekend. Eccles disrupting the interior of its line of LSU. It's probably going to play a pretty prime factor. What are you loving about him?

What are some of his big hits and accolades, too, man?

“Yeah, but I think we're too for two in this space, right?”

It was Lincoln, King Holds, week one, Camario, Super Mario Taylor, week two, Will Eccles. Here is like the guy I have circled, appointment viewing this weekend, obviously a spotlight game here, but this is a kid that unique story with him, but he finishes the number one player

in the state of Mississippi for us in the 2024 cycle. And he was a two-way guy at the point of attack, E.B. played on both sides of the line. Everyone viewed him as a defensive lineman, but we needed a spot at the last second.

On the offensive line for the Navy, all American bull, and I remember messaging will a week like a week before the game. He just got done with the Alabama Mississippi game, and I said, hey, we got a spot. Would you come down and just play some guard for us?

And he said, absolutely, showed up and held his own all week during practices. I mean, I don't know what he created out, but he didn't look out of place. And it's just funny to me, bud, with where we are now,

agents in this space, this guy's not going to work out here. This guy's not going to run here. He's going to shut it down. Look, Will Eccles, in the latest CBS sports mock draft, they have him going number 10 overall, right?

Number 10 overall to the New York Giants.

And this is a kid that always wanted to compete

with play out of position before he started classes there at Ole Miss, and it's just been fun to see his rise. We're always convicted on him, you know, Cooper Patagna, had a big role in his evaluation. He's an outlier for us, and just an awesome human,

and a guy that can get after the quarterback when he needs to. I mean, dude, also had a pretty nice,

And to your point, yeah.

77th nationally got him inside the top 100 industry consensus

was 135, so definitely pretty meaningfully higher than everybody else there on that one.

“And that's somewhere always looking for in the trench players, right?”

And certainly every situation is different. Some of these powerhouses and these guys aren't going to go, you know, both ways, but if you can find an offensive line and get into a snap, so you're going to find a defensive line and get into a snap, that's usually a key indicator of success

and specifically with this LSU matchup, we've talked about these Gerald's, the true freshman and tier defensive linemen for the Tigers. You ran for 500 yards, double one as a running back there as a, you know, as a senior in high school.

Lamar Brown, one of the other prize freshmen for the Tigers.

“I mean, that was a guy that could have been IOL 1”

in the class of 2026. So just, you know, a little nugget of what we kind of want if we can find it doesn't happen all the time, but the big boys that aren't leaving the field, usually those ones are ready to hit the ground running

and that was the case with with Will Eccles. And the guys who like to play football, like the, the, the, the Devo, the Devo line, and they work out sometimes. Like some of them were just freaking out that it does to work out, but like you, you got to like the guys actually

are willing to get in there and mix it up for sure. I'm curious as weekend, 'cause, you know, Ole Miss thought

it did kind of fix the second area with some of its portal

additions and some better health going into the year, which maybe they have against Louisville. I don't know if we can definitively say that at all the secondary stuff was solved, but you know, Lane certainly maybe trying to scheme those explosives for LSU and, you know,

man, if Ole Miss front can actually meaningfully disrupt what LSU has going on, maybe put one extra, you know, guy back in coverage, make, you know, make Levis, or not Levis, why am I blank on the LSU? Well, no, we'll change it, but, but the LSU's quarterback.

Levis, Levis, excuse me, I said Levis for second episode,

that was done. If you make Levis actually drive and be consistent on you, like maybe maybe you have a little better shot.

“So, at Eccles, he may be like the most key non-corder”

back in this game, fall knowers, but we'll see what he's able to do on Saturday night, no doubt, man. All right, this has been the company recruiting podcast, with and Robins, 24/7 sports, in Jordan, man. Appreciate you.
