Shelby does not look like a freshman. Physically. Tackett didn't look ready in the spring. Can't get the image of him tackling another defensive player out of my head. Then again, spring football is not real football.
This pic makes me wonder if he is ready as well. But Grootegood was never a specimen and he sure got it done. And I assume he will be on the outside as well. That helps alot.
I remember going to spring practice and saw Chris Gallipo keep guessing the wrong holes as a MLB and I was worried. Then media pibs told me he was smart and recognized plays better than anyone. 🤔🤯 everyone said it was back injuries but I can only judge the dude I saw in pads and he sucked. Unfortunately. CA 5 star bust for sure.
It was reported that he had great practices so I suspect he was jacked up for the Spring Game and went a lttle too hard and just missed the guy he was targetting. He needs to slow down and not lo0k so much for the BIG hit...another thing to note was most of his highlites in HS he was playing Safety where he got to move around all over the field and just tackle guys...I suspect he will need to learn the postion at USC since it will require less freedom and more discipline...he is no Gallipo...but he might not be playing his best postion in Grinch's D...in that D I'd have him at Nickle where USC seeoms to put guys that can't get the job done...by the way one of the knocks on Cobb was he misread a lot of plays and missed tackles at Oky St...but he seemed to do alright since he made second team All-Big12..
Brandi Chastain and the Beaver's football team called and want their sports bras back... 😉
Read where Cobb doesn't play very smart. But he sure had a lot of tackles last year.
Curtis is a ball hawk better suited for safety, like Troy. Posted this last year , nothing has changed.
Even if Caleb stays healthy , the reason this team doesn't make the playoffs will be because of Grinch's gambling lack of fundamentals defense . sc
