Rivals has him as a solid verbal. Anyone know where we are trying to play him? 6'6" 240, runs a 4.4 forty, thats just scary athleticism.

Rivals says he was recruited by Coach Osborne. I would assume TE.

[karlhungis]

Has anyone found any highlight videos for him?

[greenyellow]

Nice pickup since he's versatile enough to play a couple positions. Since he was recruited by Osborne, I would say he's a TE.

[duckgrad99]

Nice! It will be interesting to see what position he ends up at for Oregon.

10.68 100m that is crazy. This guy is gonna be a beast whatever position he plays!!!!

[karlhungis]

I guess this means we won't be taking that TE from Kentucky. I wonder if having him in the mix influenced French's decision at all?

[Bigducker]

Great PU. Where's that ND guy ? ha, ha

Lots of so-called experts calling it for Iowa and Notre Dame, great great pick up

No, Jon Davis' offer will be pulled, but it sounded like distance was a factor with him. He's a nice pickup for Kentucky.

Anyone think that Dion Jordan and French are comparable?

Coming out of high school
Jordan (then):
6'6 215 4.6 40 recruited as a TE
Jordan now:
6'7 230 plays DE

French:
6'6 230 4.4 40 recruited as a TE

I hope that French can stay at TE, but if not, he could be a beast at DE.

Only reason Dion is a DE is that he didn't have hands. We tried him out at TE for two years to no avail. I like him at DE.

French is going to be a beast of a deep threat in our offense, can't wait!

Ya I think he dropped a screen pass Int that he probably could have taken for 6.

I love it, we finally took one from ND, there will probably be many more in the future!!

Well this is a nice surprise.
