Change of Venue....?

Coaches are hitting their stride right now whether its making phone calls or in house visits as signing day nears. This will be the big push that schools will take time in order to remind players that they are important. This is also the time in which some players get cold feet or new suitors. So it is no surprise when top talent that has verbally committed to school flirts with the idea of other schools.

Telvin Smith is very much in this boat. The Florida State commit is a highly rated linebacker from Lowndes High School in Valdosta, GA. Cutting on a game of Telvin Smith against the top talent in the state and its clear why he is getting so much attention. Telvin is is probably one of the fastest linebackers in the country. Standing at 6'4 205 lbs. its clear that his frame has the ability to put on some good weight in college. The thing about Telvin is he uses his speed so well, that coupled with great instincts allows him to make plays all over the field. The other thing that Telvin does well is play well in space and makes sure tackles in the open field. Telvin does need to improve his pass defense since he has been playing a hybrid defensive end/linebacker position. But regardless this kid is truly special. I expect him to take advantage of other schools courting him, and with the coaching changes at FSU its a possibility he could end up with the home town Bulldogs.

Check out Telvin's film and see what you think. Don't forget to comment and follow.......
