'15 ATH Chris Pogi (Oklahoma)

[BillySee58]

6'3" 220 lb athlete for Putnam City High School in Oklahoma City. Currently committed to New Mexico. Also has held offers from Tulsa and Wyoming. One-time Wyoming commit. Pogi played receiver and defensive end but he could also play tight end or linebacker in college. Would be a little undersized at DE, but he has quick hands and is a solid pass rusher. Name to keep an eye on.

anyone know what this kids 40 time is? I agree he is way too small to be a D-end at the next level but I do like how quick he is to the inside of the tackle and how he goes for the strip and creates turnovers. I love seeing guys that attack the football once they wrap up.

Last year we only had 10 FF versus 17 the year before with our bad ass defense. I know it doesnt seem like that big of a difference but that is 7 more chances our offense could of had to score. I would love to see our D next year get back to being stingy and go after the ball more.

May be small, but he would be a bigger version of Chad Polk.

If I told you he had some listing of a 4.56 somewhere, would it make you want him anymore than if I told you that number was 4.74? The film will show you how well the kid moves. Not some listing of a spare 40 time that a semi-retired coach or camp instructor hand clocked one time.

I could see him playing a number of positions in college. He also once won a camp MVP at tight end, so he could be a receiver/tight end hybrid as well.

A 4.7 LB or TE or DE is pretty nice in my mind. It was more of a curious question more than if he was .2 seconds slower I dont want him. I watched the whole film and i was impressed.

I like the kid. He seems like a play maker just lacking the ideal size. But those kids that are playmakers and have the size do not come here. I wouldnt mind taking a chance on him Grayshirt him and see what a year does to him.

Few observations, he can really run the "ring", I love that. 2nd is I really hope they do not use this as the video they send to recruiting coordinators or show coaches who stop by. They put a still shot picture of him standing next to a ref, and an illegal peel back block. Love how he sinks his hips just before turning the corner on the OT. Pretty impressive ball skills. I say sign him up, put him at DE and go to work. I'll take 6'3" D-ends that make plays all day at UNT.

[MeanGreenTexan]

His DEF highlights looks like WILL all the way. Dont think (at this weight, at least) he can play DE on the D1 level.

Didn't care much for his OFF highlights, especially at WR. I guess he could be a TE, but don't we already have enough of those?

[GMG24]

Think the kid could put on weight that he's missing I just don't get the not way to small comment, he is (if info is correct) 30 pounds lighter than Darryl Mason. Weight can be added so I don't think that is an automatic move from DE, although he looks like he has the motor to play a Will and cause havoc.

Considering he is committed to New Mexico, I don't think asking him to grayshirt is an option.

But you're absolutely right that we need to take the kids who are studs but may be a little undersized.

A project all around, but I like him better as a receiver. Bailed out his scattershot QB *ahem* quite a bit. Needs to learn to tackle. Mostly saw grabbing, pulling, high tackles, needing help.

Not saying he can't play D, just looks more capable/comfortable as a physical TE.

Wonder if he's related to Aso Pogi (QB of Oklahoma State several years ago)?
