JUCO DE Pheldarius Payne

[Nebfanatic]

He could be a backup for Coates, correct. But Aho isn't a backup and we are ok with him being a later grad. 

Isn't Aho 4 for 3 though? I'd have to think that makes a difference

Aho is an outside LB.

Yes, but that is irrelevant to the discussion about taking JUCO's that are late grads.

Yes, it could. But Payne isn't. 

I'm not saying they are wrong, just that they'll change their tune.

Well....isn’t that special.

He has a very unique body and skill set for a DE. These are the ones that can be diamonds in the rough

I'm a bit "meow" on him.  What do you and others love about this guy?

Probably a mixture of good weight on his frame and that NC State as of recently has developed DL talent like crazy, so if they want him, he projects well.

He looks like he has a tremendous motor and first step on his tape 

 

[Vince R.]

Better than Coates

 

[NoLongerN]

Better than Coates

Yes, agreed.  So where do you guys put him as it relates to Alex Harrison, whom we missed out on?

For me, Harrison had a whole different level ... yet, I don't have any insight into "technique", just the eye ball test.

They play different positions so not really an easy comp. Harrison is a 310 lb DT/NT for us where Payne is going to be a DE. As mentioned earlier, I love this kid's explosiveness and drive. I think he could be a solid addition for us to replace the Davis twins. 

Our front 7 changes this year will be exciting to see. We are bringing in a lot of guys and I think will finally see what Chins can do with "his guys"

I agree and sure hope so. I wonder why we waited this long.
