His tape looks like he is split between Center and Guard so it would be nice to have some versatility there. As French has said on many occasions, we need to recruit more guards.

I'm VERY happy with this pickup. This guy stays low, locates a defender, and quite simply removes him from the path of the ballcarrier. Looks like we might have ourselves a pretty good one here before all is said and done.

I love everything about the kid, but given his size and wingspan, he is a center, not a guard. No chance he plays guard in Grimes system. He seems to have excellent upper body strength and pad level.
BUT, his feet die at contact and then recover. Major red flag for me. The difference between servicable and good at the DI level is footwork. Can you continue to drive your feet and legs through contact? Given that he does not, I am stunned that he is getting a scholarship offer (even though long term the center position does not have much depth.) I'd rather see him come in as a prefered walk on.

What do we know about Mr. Gallo?
Here's his highlight film.
I mentioned he visited this past weekend: http://www.thekeyplay.com/content/2013/may/28/o-line-visits-memorial-wee....

247 Sports bumped him up to the 7th best Center in the nation!
Good news, always excited to see a new Hokie join the club.
Is this Grimes's first recruit?
I believe it is.
He looks like a bulldozer in his highlight film. If Grimes went and got him, then he's alright by me......
