Tales of the tape nose tackles
Caylon May Il 6'1 1/2 308
Ye shall not pass actually run or pass. Damn near immovable even on double teams, just tossing would be blockers of him. Extremely nasty, aggre, phy, and tough yet ex body control. A bad hombre as he a a burst that could allow him to play from the 3 tech slot. Like Oladipo his emotional play on the field should jack up teammates leading by example. With long arms for his ht and a beast converting a short area burst say a step or two to an already powerful frame this guy his a must get. Think the power of Bain's and better qu than Ward last year.
Top-ex st and pow/ vg=ex burst, sp and qu . One of the top 3 tapes of the offers I have seen so far. I love this guy he just needs to qualify.

Needs to drop to about 330-335 through s+c and dietary training. Also a bit of a immature showing on his flucuating on commits.
He concerns me in more than one way. Until he is signed and on campus somewhere his story may not be over.
Tape he is probably playing at 400# seemingly slimming and improving as the tape went on.
First step is nice while improving, along with redirecting as he shrank. Devastating pow top-ex st and pow/nice qu, sp and burst. Can pursue from tackle to tackle to make plays from behind no more than that. Move his swim move improved and his punch is stopping the dead in there tracks or leaving them crumpled on the ground. Able to actually get a little skinny on rush, and a nasty big boy.

Power is his game thou he moves well enough to play a little 3 tech, with an ex chuck to lose blockers. Double even triple teams don't move him. Needs s+c to see if he can improve his sp and qu make him more than a tackle to tackle defender, who can penetrate a little. Just what you would expect from nt ex lower base/ top-ex pow, st disengaging blocker/sbg sp, qu bur.

Finally hybrid nt/3 tech/og
Howard Watkins Oh 6'5 280
As Dt needs help with his stance. Gd at redirecting on play. Sbg-vg qu, burst, / vg pow and st/ sbg sp. You pickem for where he plays as he has issues on ft crossing over and just tech with slide step at og slot. He is aggre and a better drive blocker. Seems best suited to nt with his power at least at first.
