ISU lands DE

Only 6 sacks? I'm guessing this dude is a project...6'7".. 230 lbs. If he's not explosive enough at the DE spot he'd probably make one heck of a tight end! Or not if he can't catch.
Not a great offer list but a very impressive list of schools that are interested in him. I see Bobby Elliott recruited him...I'd say I'm sold on that alone. Not to mention, how big do you want you're DE? 230 the summer before your senior yr of high is not that bad. He's got PLENTY of time to throw on another 30-40 lbs or so.
6'7 230 is bigger than any DE on our roster right now.
I'm surprised nobody has said 'turn him into an OT' yet, but I expect it to come.
The kid is only 16 for crying out loud!

You're joking right. For a guy who is 230 at high school at d-end is pretty damn good start. He'll have the height to put on weight, but to say he needs a lot of weight is a stretch.
Also, I really doubt CPR and BE are offering "projects" during the summer time. This kid has talent and size. Good get. We may offer a few 'project' in February but not July or earlier. I consider any committ before the season even starts to be excellent.
Its a little harder for longer and taller guys to put on weight, we'll have to see how he is built though.
Thank god. ISU needs D-Linemen in the worst way, and this guy looks to have a lot of potential. Impressive list of schools that are interested in him too.
Welcome to ISU, David!

Jake is actually up to 290 per McKnight and that is after that illness took him under 230 last year.
This guy has a tremendous upside. Sure 230 is light for a guy who's 6'7 but he still has a year of high school left. He will be 250 before he gets here. I like this get.
