6' 195lb inside linebacker in the Pac-12 might have something to do with it. But as a wise old coach once told me "it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog"

He's a little bigger than that I think.

According to the stats on the HUDL video, he's 6'1" and 215 lbs. He'll only get bigger once he starts a college S&C program.

He got a significant bump and is a 4* on 247.

"They".... also said the same thing (3*) about this little known kid outta St Louis HS who came to Oregon. Now...he's in Nissan commercials and has a wing of a sports complex named after him. Those folks can probably evaluate talent....but they'll NEVER be able to evaluate heart!

Sorry

just did a quick google search and I think I got his pre senior profile stats. He's now listed as 6' 1" 210 lbs.

That's bigger than Clay ever was.

I like that he carries thru his tackles, including his closing speed as mentioned by OP. It also seems like he takes his defensive assignments seriously. And he looks strong.

I saw a picture of Niu and Cyrus Habiki-Likio standing next to each other, and Niu looks significantly bigger. Has to be at least 210 already.

Agree on your comment/ question. I think it's all about height. He's nasty.
