dachsie Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Why did I think TM7 wasn't rated that high? Edited February 2, 2020 by dachsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I guess a lot can happen to an 18 year old in the next 3 or 4 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Rivals, he had 4*, was ranked #191 in the nation (pretty good) and #13 CB that year. LSU and Tennessee the only big schools to offer him, but he only visited LSU.
