We did beat out Illinois for the kid if the rumor stands true.

Looks like the Chronicle had an error but still a good looking prospect on a very good team.

"Ft. Bend Elkins: Darvin made an impression on me once WR’s started working against DB’s. He

showed good foot work in the jam/release drill and was hard to cover in the 1 on 1’s. He made several good

athletic catches."

Damn, I wanted a 6-8 receiver.

[Huff]

I think the story indicated that he could clear 6-8 in the high jump........not that he was 6-8 in height. I agree with Eastwood Eagle, though. A wide receiver who stands 6-8 might be nice to have.

6-8??!?!?! good god, have him suit up in the winter time to replace Tony Mitchell after the bowl games!

We need a receiver like that.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him play next year rather than redshirt. He is not a burner as much as he is quick and elusive. From his tape looks like one of those guys that you would think is covered in butter the way the defense can't hold onto him and get a good solid lick to bring him down. I like what he will add to our receiving corps, regardless of who our qb is next year.

With our lack of depth at WR, u may be right

Here are his highlights for his SR season thus far. Looks impressive. Makes good adjustments while the ball is in the air.
