Yep - the first play on that tape shows what he's willing to do as a blocker....... devastating!

he has great ball skills, but I would not be surprised to see him bulk up and become the next Isaiah Simmons at NB. He is a wrecking ball.

Yes, he is..... he has a nose for the ball and takes the right angles to get to it.

Totally agree about the nickel linebacker or free safety spot for this kid. Feels like this kid is the wild card of the recruiting class like ruke was last class. Guy with huge upside but hopefully is willing to grow and develop and be a star as a junior or senior since we have so much talent.

looks like high school film of Sammy Watkins or Terry Kinard. Is a US 3 star a Canadian 5 star? Would be tough to play Defense with a Canadian end zone.

I was thinking Randy Moss. He has a ton of natural talent. But, he's very raw... and playing in Canada against Canadians. It'll be interesting to see how he does his senior year in Florida.
All that said, this will be a good test for Jeff Scott.

He is not even similar to Randy Moss.

He is the exact same size as Randy Moss. Same exceptional vertical. Same ability to highpoint the ball. Same deceptive long-striding speed.
Here's a Randy Moss college highlight video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5Cw-RmfmN4
As I said, Ajou Ajou is raw. He is not what Randy Moss was in college (yet). So, yeah, Jeff Scott has his work cut out for him. But it's certainly possible he develops. And he definitely has flashes that remind me of Randy Moss. I can see it.

high jump, vertical

Here's Ajou Ajou high jumping over 6'6"
https://twitter.com/titansathletics/status/999719989253844993?lang=en
Randy Moss had a 47 inch vertical.
Randy Moss also could run a 4.25 40. But, then again, Randy Moss was in the US and trained for a lot longer than Ajou Ajou, at this point.
But, honestly, despite the fact that he looks like Moss and has similar abilities, there was one play in his highlight where he scorched the defender and made a leaping catch across the middle. It just struck me... That looked like Randy Moss.
I wish I didn't have to do your homework for you. It gets tedious.

they are not even in the same league

ajou looks to be in the 4.7 range, he is not as gifted as moss. But he has a nasty streak that Scott and Venables covet. I did not see that in Moss' highlights.

Exactly. They arent even similar. Its a laughable comparison really. Randy's highlights on every level were mind boggling. He is arguably the most talented WR in NFL history. Randy Moss has the NFL record for TD's in a season with 23. Other than Jerry Rice, no other wr in NFL history has even had 20.

he could be a special teams monster and possibly avoid a red shirt. This kid can easily put on 20 pounds of muscle and become a beast of a safety or nickle back in Venables' scheme, heck even a SLB. He is very raw as a receiver and could find the field a lot quicker on defense. I could be totally wrong here. That is for Jeff Scott to work out.
either way he is a gem and a great land.

Same size. Neat. They are nothing even similar in how they play. Same height, black, and play WR. Thats where it ends. They are nothing similar in style and ability.

tripped me out watching Canadian rules, 3 guys in the back field in motion before the snap, it is like arena league football. But yes, he is a man among boys playing up in Canada. He was absolutely abusing guys with the stiff arm, and helmets were flying when he laid the wood.
We found a gem, kid will be a 4 star and a top 150 guy in about month.
