# | TJ Jackson Follows Love of Football, Fondness of "Hitting People" to Virginia Tech Kid's big. In his highlights he pretty much just uses his size to push outmatched defenders 10+ yards down the field. It will be interesting to see how he holds up against someone like Ken Ekanem or Tim Settle in practice. Also didn't see him at all in pass protection, only running highlights.

# | TJ Jackson Follows Love of Football, Fondness of "Hitting People" to Virginia Tech He has great hands and could likely play TE.
he has no issue with playing a snap or two at tight end — his "dream position".
That's a serious claim round these parts.

You'll fit right in. Welcome!
"Where were you taking him?"
"To the bus. It was time for him to go."
Rivals had him as a 4 star rb.
Now we're in a whole different conversation.
There's a difference between "he didn't project as a running back" (your original assertion) and "he wasn't going anywhere that would play him at LB" (your assertion now).
Trey wanted to be a running back, and was only going to commit to a program that promised him a shot at running back. That's not the same thing as projecting as a running back.
You're right that he was a 4-star recruit. But if the recruiting services were rating him as a LB recruit, that doesn't mean he was a 4-star running back recruit. That's like calling Logan Thomas a 4-star QB recruit.
He is not 145lbs....that's what he fights at, but he walks around at about 170lbs....quite the difference....He's about to jump up to lightweight to fight as well.
Exactly what you said. It's the guys, just like this recent LB that decommited from us (though admittedly he's not a high-star guy), that only have us as their only offer that I'm worried about. Not someone whom we offered early and then their offer sheet exploded.

All ABOARD, Hype train will be leaving in 10 minutes!
Then why the heck am I still 5'9"? This is unfair.
Dude is the dude what makes the shade.
The Texas defenders didn't.
I would have loved it more in a short-yardage situation.
This just made me think... and I'm professing an ignorance of higher-level football here... but when you grade/critique OL recruits, are you doing it in the mindset of what Stinespring and Loeffler have looked for out of their OL? Or even at the P5 level, with the differences between the offenses that Stiney and Lefty ran vs the offense that Fuente will run, is it still a matter of fundamentals still being fundamentals on the OL?
I can confirm that he will be signing Wednesday
I'll take Ferrell and Cookie's word. No offense, since you guys are going off publicly available information, but no.
He played both sides of the ball because he was the best player on the field at a tiny school. He could've played either position but he was never going anywhere that didn't want him as a running back. So it doesn't matter what 247 listed him as.
I don't know if you want to call me the "small circle" but I've known him, his brothers, and his parents Ferrell and Cookie my entire life.
He was only going to play RB. I pinky promise.
I hope that he catches a TD pass at some point in his career. Bring him as a TE on a goal line play and I bet he'd be wide open.
