Great stuff TwentyTwo. And a couple of revealing names emerge above.
But before that mentioned above stellar defensive performances and we are seeing some similarities between NC State and Arkansas. CB Hudson Clarke who? Good to hear. And Grant Morgan with 19 tackles and 3 TFLs, 1 sack and interception I think returned for a TD. And his pal Bumper Pool I don't think played but fellow LB Hayden Henry chipped in with 8 tackles and 2 TFLs.
Speaking of LB tandem teams I saw the impressive NC State dynamic LB play yesterday. Both only s
ophomores. Drake Thomas had 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks and 1 TFL. And future first round stud (6'4" 245) Payton Wilson with 19 tackles and a half a sack and half a TFL Plus two interceptions.. And he doesn't just tackle. He hits with the brute force of a sixteen wheeler. I have notated NC State and will look out for their TV games from here on end. Beats watching caste fests Alabama-Georgia.
Has Clemson S Nolan Turner done anything that would hurt his according to the (experts) "fringe late round" draft status. No in fact in a fair world his stock would be rising but for a white DB all bets are off. Perfect game by him yesterday in limited play during a blowout. Also a ball hawk as he nabbed another INT. But Wake Forest true freshman safety Nick Anderson has been playing great this season and he shined in their win over Virginia with 9 tackles. So few Power 5 white defensive backs to begin with. Even rarer to see a true freshman.
Under the radar special? Junior WR Jake Bobo of Duke. They mentioned his batting average of picking up first downs and it was amazing. For the season the tall junior has a 21-250-1 through I think six games.
NFL TE watch. Miami Will Mallory (6'5" 245) moves like a runaway deer. Special talent is a big play TE with a stat line of 7-134 and a whopping 5 TDs so far this season. He will only get better.
With the depressing news that WR Caleb Chapman is down and out for the season it is nice to see a freshman WR possibly emerge. Reese Smith of WV (5'10" 186) was a highly rated WR coming out of high school. Hopefully WV integrates him into the offense more now as we move forward. He is a jet. Runs the 40 yard dash in 4.44 seconds. So far he is the only top rated class of 2020 white WR to make any noise.
