I dont do the whole deeply analyze thing... but...
He looks slow and doesnt have much burst or change of direction.
He looks strong and has decent balance/feet.
If he was from Hawaii he would be the next decent NG project.
If he was 3 inches taller his lack of speed would bother me less.
If he was quicker he would be a fine OLB/DE in our scheme.
He looks pretty natural playing all over the field against whatever shitty competition he is playing against, so thats good at least. Maybe he will be the next Dissly dawg type TE. meh.

Watched his Jr highlight film ...
It's tough film to really evaluate because there's very little that is specific to what he's going to be asked to do at UW (largely a blocker and receiving is going to come as part of play action and angle routes) ... film is him basically running as a wildcat QB, split out as a WR, QB throwing, and a little bit at LB.
What I think shows a lot during the film is the fact that he always plays forward ... hit him and he falls forward ... so that's a positive in terms of blocking (worst case likely going to stalemate a lot and when having the ball in his hands is going to fall forward ... obviously competition has to be taken with a grain of salt.
I'd have to go back and watch the other Cade's video, but I see some similarities ... neither wow you but both show some good tools to work with. One thing about Jumper the pass catcher is that he feels like he's got decent hands and displays the ability to high point the ball.
The downside to Jumper is that he's almost assuredly a bit of a developmental prospect in the sense that what he's being asked to do is different than what he currently does ... so development and learning will need to be tempered. Playing as a RS Soph and then probably a lot in his Jr/Sr year makes sense.
The FB is a missing piece of modern football and there's some value here ... particularly with an accurate QB like Huard coming in terms of play action and getting some easy 6-10 yard plays. I like having the flexibility to use it in the office and the reality is that H-back is a slightly different skillset vs TE.
For as much as we talk about elite players at every position, there's also the side of the argument that there's a foundational element to this program about taking these 5 year players that will develop and contribute as upperclassmen. They won't necessarily be the sexiest player but there is value in them.
It's far from a terrible pickup. It's definitely early to take a player like Jumper who has likely a muddied recruiting profile given what he shows on film versus how he'll be used in college. It's also important to note that players that play a lot of HS QB that switch to other positions in college often are relatively under-recruited and then tend to outperform in college. I can definitely say that TCU has had their fair of HS QBs that end up playing a wide array of positions (including DE) that have turned out to be pretty good. So a lot of the thing with a player like Jumper is having a vision for what you want a player/position to look like and then being able to extrapolate the recruit's skillset into that position's requirements.
As I said above, I feel like this is a pickup that we're doing to help move momentum and in particular the local angle.
