TomVH: DE Desimon Green Offered
Just got off the phone with Desimon Green, the defensive end out of Clairton, PA. I just did an update/interview on him a few days ago. He told me that Coach Gibson called him and offered him. Gibson would have offered sooner, but apparently he was in the Bahamas.
Rich Rodriguez signed off on the scholarship offer, because Green has a ton of versatility, and can play anywhere.
Desimon will use one of his official visits to come see Michigan during the season, but he's not sure which one.
You can never have too many talented athletes on your squad. Im guessing they see him at DL or LB
...of course one has a VERY strong need on the O-line and has a plethora of DL and LB either very interested or committed already with a small class and several other positions already being recruited heavily as well, such as RB, WR, CB and S.
The kid's 215 lbs, I sincerely doubt he'll be an O lineman.
Yeah, that's not happening.
Is he being recruited for a specific position? I know he said he would play anywhere but where does he look to fit in?
Love the WPIAL kids. We're in on quite a few this year.
As a junior, Desimon Green recorded 87 tackles and an astonishing 27 sacks, eclipsing his school record that he set as a sophomore when he registered 23 sacks. He earned 1st team All-State, All-Conference and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Fab 22" honors. He says he can bench 235-pounds and has a 36-inch vertical jump.
50 sacks in two seasons is an insane number.
In the interest of full disclosure, Clairton plays in the lowest level of the WPIAL, so the competition is pretty bad. Now obviously, good players should put up insane numbers against bad competition, so Green's obviously good, but in this case stats aren't everything. Just FYI.
...since there had to be a rational explanation for those insane numbers.
To me, the rational explanation is that he simply is addicted to the rush he gets from throwing a quarterback into the ground.
if they play as many games as California HS's, thats 2.5 sacks a game......
I get like 70 every season with my OLB in NCAA 2004 for GameCube
Ryan Mundy won the Heisman that year!
