He put the B in Bandits. He stole that MSU player's soul with that hit.

Freak holds/should hold the national high school record for most sacks in a career. I say "should hold" b/c there is some controversy concerning the record.

Apparently, the national stats people didn't think that OP Walker kept adequate statistics, but his HS coach claimed to have gone back and watched every snap in his career and confirmed the record.

Also cool, is that he doesn't just have some random nickname that his friends gave him. Legendary Monte Kiffin gave him that nickname!

His jumps on the snaps were unbelieveable for most of the night. There were several plays where he's already hitting the O-line before anyone else on either line has even moved (except for the center snapping it of course).

I kept thinking that they would get him by switching up the snap count, but he never got an offsides. He had to be picking up on some kind of snap tell; there's just no other way to explain it except maybe telepathy.

6-3, 310

Already has NFL DT size & quickness. Run stuffer and pass disrupter.

With continued development, we are looking at a future 1st round pick.

That play was so good that the bar I watched the game at just went quiet as everyone had their own personal "whoa" moment right before the cheering started.

He was so quick and fast, I think we were all waiting for a flag to come flying because we didn't think there was any way that could've been a legal play. But it was.

He was on the snap before the OL was, went through two men, and just manhandled a running back as if the RB weighed 50 pounds and was standing still.

Love me some Freak.

I didn't see much playing time by the Freak last night. Are we keeping him fresh for the meat of our schedule?


Hard to get on the field with a ton of playing time when you're competing with Logan and Brockers.

Freak is an understatement. Maybe unhuman.
