The Official- Michigan Sleeper TE

First show back, and we've got to talk about two tight ends.

And two running backs.

I know.

I heard.

I was listening to last week's episode.

I feel like this was done on purpose.

A tight end and a running back both committed to Louisville and Michigan today.

But, Matt, we're going to start with the Louisville tight end, D'Angelo White.

So, D'Angelo White here.

We have at 6'5", 250 pounds, you know, 56.9 star index score played at, was the St. Joseph Villa Angela High School in Cleveland, Ohio.

Not a great strength of schedule rating in his junior season, though.

7.2.

They were the 940th ranked school in the nation.

What were your takeaways here when you watched D'Angelo? Committed to Louisville, if I did not say that.

Yeah, I actually did just update his star index right before the show because I did get him at 20.4 miles per hour, which at 6'5", 250 pounds is pretty good, actually.

So solid athlete.

I imagine his star index will raise even higher if we get some more testing, but there really wasn't much out there on him.

Moderately smallish school, not the greatest competition, but so far this year he has six games, 10 receptions, 225 yards, two touchdowns, averaging 22.5 yards per catch.

um and yeah i i popped on this highlights i did not full game him and you know i i'm kind of glad dick's i feel like his game is pretty straightforward he's very much just a yak tight end um and i think he's pretty good at it to be clear he's very much just a massive running back at this stage you know they get him the ball out and you have screens flats drags and then there's a lot of work in space because you know he does pretty well he moves well it accelerates well despite he's pretty prototypical, standard tight end size, 6'5", 250, fully built out already.

So it's interesting because I do believe he's an intriguing athlete, and there is some solid blocking.

I saw at least decent physicality, not exactly a refined blocker at this stage.

But in terms of just being a receiver in general, I just didn't see a ton there.

um in terms of route running route feel um even like even as like a big six foot five 250 pound tight end not a lot of like contested work like there's there's a few but not not really much not not much in the way of ball skills i could really see like he really is just kind of a one trick pony in that regard now like you know just jumbo running back um So he definitely has a decent amount of work to do in that regard of just, you know, filling out the rest of his game.

You know, probably a player that's going to have to be developed over two or three years to do that.

But I do believe he could potentially get on the field just because he does have, you know, this one really good ability, which is his ability after the catch.
