DT? I figured him more for a 4-3 DE in the NFL.

Good to see him getting reps both inside and outside. He has always had incredible raw power and strength and his quick twitch ability seen here makes him really tough to handle

Shows what we do all the time with 3* players. Only problem is it takes time to bring them up to this level. Need more of those 4*/5* DL types...four productive years instead of one or two. Plus a higher ceiling. If he can stay healthy, how good will Blacklock be?
I honestly think Blacklock has the chance to be a pro bowler at the next level. With his size and athleticism the sky is the limit. Just has to stay healthy like you said
Four productive years is almost unheard of these days, guys will turn pro early. LJ had a really nice career here, especially relative to his perceived potential coming out of HS. It’s time Sharp starts getting some credit too, he’s done a heck of a job developing d-lineman.

Now you’ve done it. Next thing you know you’ll be typing things like “it’s time we give Art Briles a second chance”.

If the guy from Arizona State was an artist, would we get a Renell Wren rendering?
What more consistency did he need? He started out as a small school recruit, each year got better, and worked his way to one of the best DL’s out there.

Small school recruit?

I think it was well known that much like many young players, he didn’t always give the effort early in his career that GP wanted. His lack of stamina was often pointed out by GP. That changed as he matured. He really didn’t emerge as a consistent threat on the edge until the very end of last year. Even this year in my opinion, he disappeared a little more then he should have for his talent level and size.

guess referring to lj who played at munday which i believe is 1a.
number of collier's have played there, few got scholarships, but i don't think any have made the nfl.
if you want an interesting look back i suggest a quick glance over lj's recruiting class in 2014.

lj and ty summers could be the 3rd and 4th players from the class to get a shot with an nfl team and no player rated in the top 10 of the class would be among that 4.
2 quarterbacks among the group won a bowl game for tcu. any guesses?
