Whose gonna watch?
2020 Under Armour All American Game
- Thread starter PSU_522
- Start date
I did. A 74 year old man had a large growth removed from his nose......,.oh, you meant the high school game. Didn’t see it, but the guys nose turned out ok.
I thought I deleted that sig pic of myself
I watched it.
Theo didn't play as he injured his shoulder during 1v1 drills earlier in the week. Likely a separated shoulder but nothing going to be long term
Curtis Jacobs played on Team Savage (dark uniforms). He played as one of 2 inside backers and it appears they went with 5 DBs and 4DL most of the time. Curtis started and he appeared to spy the running back the entire time he was in. As the RB jumped to either side of the QB he switched and mirrored the RB. He did a good job of covering the RB out of the backfield and showed good pursuit in the run game. A few times he got caught on cut backs or if the QB did a read option. He did a delayed rush in Q3 and had a nice pressure on the QB causing an incompletion.
He played most of the game. In the 4th Q most of the kids who didn't get a lot of time were in, until the last drive wherein he was back in to hold the victory.
He didn't look too large but was pretty fast. I think this format is tough on all linebackers as you can't blitz and the format is more like 7 v 7 wherein QBs take a few steps drop and the ball is usually out or they tuck in and run
In terms of stand outs on Team Savage I would say Trenton Simpson 22 the other linebacker and a Clemson commit had crazy closing speed.
EJ Smith (a Stanford Commit and Emmitt's son) had a nice burst to him
Chandler Morris (Oklahoma commit) was an undersized QB but showed some Trace qualities.
Sav'ell Smalls - Washington commit looked good as a LB/DB
Zachary Evans #3 - uncommitted had a nice burst. Runs fast but effortlessly. Had some issues in HS got kicked off the team but appears to be trying to turn it around.
On Team Pressure: (White unis)
Enzo was on this team. He did not start. Saw him in as Nickel cornerback on a lot of 3rd downs. He played a fair amount in Q1 and early Q2. Didn't see him again until the Q4.
Honestly not much to say, He seemed to cover the inside receiver on the right side most of the time when the other team went 4/5 wide. He appeared OK in coverage but not much came his way. Hard to evaluate. I know Jahari Rodgers #1 and a Fla commit seems to be the preferred cornerback. Jordan Toles #9 an LSU commit seemed to be in the whole game as well.
On offense Julian Fleming #4 appeared to be the real deal physically and got a lot of positive comments - as he was their #1 player. He looked the part.
Tank Bigsby - Auburn RB commit was a load in short yardage.
Drew Pyne the ND QB commit seemed too small.
Brenden Rice - Jerry's son and a Colorado commit had some nice moments
Ocho Cinco's son looked pretty good as well
I will say in general that this year lacked the eye popping athletes of the past. No one really stood out. Just a lot of good. QB's were underwhelming for sure. Evans as a back appears to be the best. Fleming at WR appears most developed at this point. Honestly I was most impressed with Trenton Simpson the Clemson linebacker
As for PSU mentions there were none. I may have missed the starting lineup intros for Curtis but they only put up the Top 10 classes on screen and we were not in it
OSU was 3/4. Michigan 10.
It was basically an SEC love fest with OSU and Clemson in the mix,
Ariz state picked up a few big commits during the game. Good for Herm.
I think Theo's size would have been huge in the game if he could have played. Both teams seemed "small" on the whole
Side note, My pet peeve is that most people watching this are looking for kids committed to their school. The announcers do a shit job of identifying number/names and announcing the player. They basically know the top 25-30 and that's it. So frustrating
Anyway that's my take
Thanks PV_lion, I got more out of your post than I did watching it.
Well no one does, its an explanation as to his development and his ability to beat 17 year olds in high school games
He looked pretty good against the competition he will be competing with in college last night, who gives a damn their age?
I guess. He is going to be a good player I think, especially in that system at OSU.
Penn State players at UA AA game:
watching replay not seeing or hearing about any of the PSU recruits in this game. See that Theo was injured but Curtis Jacobs and Enzo Jennings nothing. the replay is skipping through the game a bit. anyone see anything from these guys in the game?

Not correct, you can't turn 19 before before the first week in July( I forget the date, something like July 5th or something)
A student shall be ineligible for interscholastic athletic competition upon attaining the age of nineteen years, with the following exception: If the age of 19 is attained on or after July 1, the student shall be eligible, age-wise, to compete through that school year.
