Has anyone seen this kid's senior highlight game tape?

It's absolutely ridiculous and unbelievable. Since I started following college recruiting, I don't think I've ever seen such a monstrous talent. This kid is by far the best prospect going into college that I've ever seen.
This year he is coming into his freshman year of college at South Carolina at the age of 18 years old and is already 6'6" and 245 pounds. He's also got plenty of room to add to his frame and bulk up.
He has one of the most tantalizing skill sets I have ever seen. He has the raw strength, power, length, and long arms to bull rush through any one standing in his way, including double and triple team blocking schemes. He has the speed to beat any offensive lineman off the edge. He has the speed to outrun any player on the field. He was a defensive lineman that would run all the way down the field on a passing play and chase down and tackle a WR. The guy is an absolute animal.
The guy was a sack/tackle for loss/turnover machine. He blew up plays in the backfield, outran everyone on the field to make TD saving tackles, and destroyed blocking schemes. I have never seen such a physical freak and immense football talent.
There is no doubt that he will have to learn the intricacies of football and work on things like technique and being disciplined on defense rather than just being able to free lance like he was in high school, but this kid is definitely someone to follow for the years to come. He has everything you look for in an NFL player from a skillset standpoint.
Imagine this kid on the Pats? He could play any position on the DL. He has the potential size and strength to play 5-technique in a 3-4 or 3-technique in a 4-3, although with his size, speed, athleticism, and length, he'd probably ideally fit as a dominant 4-3 DE like Peppers or Mario Williams. With the way this kid moves, you could even play him at OLB in a 3-4.
I will definitely be keeping an eye on this kid for years to come. Here's to hoping he becomes a Patriot in the future!
