Rob Gray is calling him "Elite". I hope he's that good.

This kid is Elite. And he ain't no 3 star trust me. Dude is an immovable object with incredible strength and tenacity. With the return of Myers, Taylor, Pierson and RS Ayeni and RS Luna, Tucker just adds to a promising Dline for once in my life. If the staff can add Bobby Leath the other NG Juco stud then we need to land Antoine Albert(major DB juco stud) and another juco LB and this class is set.

I would rather get 2 more DL AND 2 LB'S. We need LB'S much worse than DB'S IMO. We have a couple rs freshmen that should play next year at CB.

63 posts into a football forum and not a single mention of firing anyone on staff. Amazing what some positive news can do.

I'm doing my "stay healthy and live up to expectations" dance right now.

It's not pretty.

Meyers needs to get back to DE and keep him there. Admire him a lot for his scrappiness but he has a DE body and could replace Morrissey. Like GARCIA too, just needs more time and pounds. Not sure about Trent, Aka, yet. Not sure about Ayeni. Recruit over them now and give them time to mature. 2 more DL could be great and maybe hold one back if we can. Cannot pass up good DL!

This is one that I was waiting for. It has been rumored for a long time that he would commit to the good guys. Now we need to get Leath.

All indications where that Ayeni was slated to play a ton and likely inside too which is not his true position. Ayeni should be a real nice 280lb DE next year for us. I can see Taylor/Pierson and Myers/Ayeni all sharing time at DE. Don't forget the light will go on for Dev Cousins too, he'll be entering his jr year and isn't small. I agree that if we can land at least one more Juco DT/NG it would be great. Pray for no injuries or departures.

Great news!

Saw a picture of him....he looks like a serious football player. I don't know very much about recruiting, but when I looked at Lazard, I thought he looked like a D1 player/star. Same thing with this kid.

I had always thought Ayeni was slated for DT? Which is why I had question mark with him since he is playing a new position. We are set at DE, but we could use a true upperclassman DT since Cousin and Tucker should rotate at NG.
