[Boom]

Story is one of the few "big" receivers in this class that can really run well. He is big, rangy, athletic and builds to a very impressive top end speed. He has a wide wingspan and big hands and given his height and high cut build is very fluid through the hips. Release off the line is sound and he gets into routes quickly. Is an imposing figure off the ball and smoothly attacks coverage alignment and knows how to use his frame. He possesses big, reliable, soft hands with very few body catches. He is excellent at catching balls outside of his frame, especially in the presence of defenders. He makes great adjustments to the ball while it's in the air, especially on the over-the-shoulder grabs. What really stands out is his ability to make plays on the jump ball, balls thrown in traffic and adjustments to poorly thrown balls. He has fantastic pure leaping ability and times these jumps very well. Body control while elevating to the jump ball is very sharp. As a vertical threat he can climb the ladder and get over the top of DB's quicker than he looks. He is a tall receiver that actually possesses a short stride so he does not always look all that fast yet he lulls defenders to sleep and then gets right over the top. He is fluid through the hips, but tall and must work on keeping his pad level low and not gearing down with tiny steps as a route runner. Short and intermediate route running is an area where he can really improve with coaching and time. With the ball after the catch he has some nice wiggle and change-of-direction and can make people miss churning out big chunks of yardage. However, while we like Story's straight-line speed, he does not always appear to have a second gear or short area burst to reach top speed rapidly. He is ultra athletic and big though and he makes a lot of plays on the ball. Also has experience on defense displaying his versatility and range. We feel he could be one of this classes better wide receivers.

ESPN ranks him as the 5th best WR

He was arrested earlier in the year....... he claims he was breaking up a fight.....http://www.gatorsports.com/article/2010 ... /100819532

Maybe he's looking for a fresh start some were else?

"So I came over because there was knives and I took a box cutter from my brother's (girlfriend), but one of the other girls had two knives.

Smart kid if he wants out of that environment.

I just read scout and espn's little profiles about him and I swear they are talking about two different people

How so?

Both basically say that he's big and fast.

If he were to come here, we all know Chip would keep him on a short leash. I wonder where the random interest came from. Either way, would be a really nice pick up. Can't have too many great WRs.

If it's true, the crazy version, I don't want him in Eugene.

I would say the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Until we know the whole and correct story, I would say to hold judgement but be wary of him. I'm sure that Chip and the coaches would do their due diligence in finding out the facts and see if he fits in with what Oregon is doing.

If your baby's mom can convince you to assault young women, imagine what Masoli could convince him to do. Good thing he's not around here anymore. JK...
