Finally a really good LB class. We need LBs. And this kid is a dude. Might end up being our best LB since Kiko. Brandon Huffman thinks he could end up being our best ILB ever. He’s really high on him.

Well that would be an improvement from the days of our highest ranked ILB ending up on my intramurals team :lol:

Watched a bit of his commit video. Announced as a "gender reveal" style cake with a green and yellow center. Made me laugh and, bonus, no fires, no plane crashes, and no one had to die.

And unfortunately Flowe just tackled the guy handing out drinks. While the ball carrier runs for 30 yards.

Love this get. Kiko feels like a great comparison in his play.

I forgot Flowe was rated higher than Pritchard, will be interesting to see what he does this year.

The UA DC has already came out and said he’s trying to get him to understand how to read a play, and get him under control to run the D. Basically sounding the exact same as he was here. Just a million miles an hour the wrong direction, and then celebrating after every play.

10 total plays for him and 2 assisted tackles.

Checking out Platt's Hudl - https://www.hudl.com/profile/12373033/Brayden-Platt

The things I notice are that he's got quick feet (definitely not a strider watching his RB H/L's), he uses his arms exceptionally well to disengage blockers and that he gets into the body of the ball carrier which all lead to him making some pretty violent hits from short-area bursts. I didn't see a single tackle where he dropped his shoulder rather than wrapping up properly.

Honestly this is a really good class. Just need an elite recruit or two and we'll have a top 7 class.

Dudes like Platt would qualify as elite in virtually any past Oregon lb corps.

Gotta finish with Baker and Breeland.
If we have hope of being too 4 in Big10 we need guys like that and this.
