Defensive Tackle Analysis


OldTimer

Recommended Posts

NT will lose 3 Seniors based on their SR. status last year...If any of these have injuries that will extend their elgility ...if anyone knows of an injury that any of the seniors has please post that information...same for returning DT's. If anyone is aware of an NT offer please post that information. I did not include Sean Brown, he is left off because his weight is only 245 lbs...could be a DE?

Shavod Atkinson

Jesse DeSoto

Kelvin Jackson

NT will return the following:

Kyle White, 6-2, 309, WB Jr

Richard Abbe, 6-4, 357, WB RS Freshman

Tevin Cantley, 6-4, 336, WB Jr or rs FR?

******************************************************

NT has offers open for the following recruiting 2011 season:

JCDT Tony Gillespie, Coffeyville CC , 6-2, 296

JC DT Ronnel Wright, Butte CC, 6-3, 275, 4.9

*****************************************************

NT has a commitment from Emela Okafor, Sunnyville HS, 6s-5, 320 who played Nose Guard on defense as well of OT, and played Shot put in track events. I would image he will be red shirted.

**************************************

There was talk last year that LaChris Anyian Allen HS freshman 6-4, 292, was going to be tried at DT don't know if that is still open..he was a RS freshman.

This doesn't consider any prospects that we don't have a known offer on or that NT is recruiting that we are not aware of at this time.

Reply: I guess it depends upon the date you look at information...I see today that he no longer lists interest in NT. I hope this is not true.

This is a panic situation. Cantly and Abbe supposedly have some potential but Cantly had two tackles last year and Abbe one. We have two prospects from the JUCO ranks...Wright and Thompson. Kyle White returns but he is an unknown. Anyiam is the only other defensive lineman large enough to play DT. We need the six mentioned above and some good coaching to get us through this crisis.

We were in a similar situation 3 yrs ago when we got Shavod and a couple other big DT's... But nonetheless, definitely an urgent situation, which I'm sure Dan is well aware of.

I have faith that there will be at least 1 Juco signing, possibly 2, to remedy this scene and allow us a full year to go find a HS DT to develop for the long term.
