I don't know about this kid, nor do I know if he will ever be more than a backup. However, I do know one thing; the people who make these decisions about scholarships are a lot smarter than I am on the subject.
They are being well paid and have a lot more skin in the game than I do. So in that case, I will trust the coaching staff and remain positive.
I'll be honest, I never thought Brian O'Neill would amount to much. He had no other P5 offers. He proved me wrong.
I cringed at the thought of a walk on (Idowu) and converted WR with only a couple of P5 offers (Zeise) and a two star player who had zero P5 offers (Quintin Wirginis) would make up a top 4 linebacking corp in the ACC.

Would I love to land players with multiple offers from Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, etc...? You bet your ass. But the moral of the story is that you don't know how it will turn out until it turns out. Recruiting is all about "upside" and development.
