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.

Has anyone found any highlight videos for him?

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.

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

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?

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.
