Noah Sewell receives Top Award at American Bowl All Star game. 😁

Smalls will be a good player, I just don’t see how he’s the #11 player in this class. Then again I think it’s wild the way these rankings work. I do think from what I’ve watched from him on film vs Sewell on film id prefer Sewell. Would be happy to have either on my team but I think sewell is going to make an impact sooner than Smalls.

Smalls emerged early and made it extremely high in the ranks (as high as #2 IIRC, but definitely at least to #3). Other kids have bloomed and caught up with him as a prospect but it's hard to drop somebody far when they're clearly still a very good prospect.

He might be ranked a little too high but he's a stud with a huge ceiling and I'm thrilled we got him.

My uneducated guess is he's not as explosive athletically as he once was either because of conditioning or injury or both. Once he gets a year of good nutrition and S & C I think he's going to be a monster.

Just not as soon as Sewell who won't need all that.

The big concern for you guys with Sewell has to be that he doesn't get too big too soon.

Smalls will probably be a better pro player though it's too soon to say what happens with Sewell's body.

Sewell will drop weight. He’s the better prospect.

Sewell is obviously awesome, and will be good wherever he plays, but I don't know why you guys get so sensitive when people suggest his best position may not be ILB. Fighting to keep your weight down is generally not ideal for high schoolers.

He could easily gain 15lbs and be Ed Oliverhttps://twitter.com/footwork_king1/status/974024855166341120?s=20

The Sewell family were all grown ass men coming out of high school. Most schools have framed him up as an ILB. Georgia and Bama fans all talked about him at ILB. It’s only UW fans that continue this line of thought. Look at the kid. He’s best around 15 pounds lighter than he is now.

Pink slink blade is an auto chin for me.

I know, kinda why I did it. I still think you're way off on that prediction though, Sewell is a hell of a lot quicker and more agile at 273 than Smalls at 244. People are getting it backwards. The one who needs to bulk up and play on the DL is Smalls. He'll grow into a SDE and slide inside on passive downs but he's not a guy who is good in space or will bend the edge at the next level unless something really happens to change his athletic profile. People calling him a freak haven't turned on a football game in 20 years.

The Monty Hall/Door number 3 option is Avalos simply does the same thing he did with the 6'2", 260 pound inside linebacker Oregon signed last year.

Sure, but Funa was always an OLB/Edge, it's what he played in HS mostly. Nobody considered him an ILB. Sewell plays inside mostly. /shrug

Next year’s defense is going to be filthy.

It’s laughable that Smalls is rated ahead of Sewell. Husky fans are trying to convince each other he’s a real 5 star meanwhile Sewell is over here putting on a damn clinic at 3 or 4 positions.

Is this your way of standing up to @dnc?
