Brandon George - position switch

[steelcurtain55.]

I'd personally like to see him move to TE/FB.

I think he has really good hands, balance, power, strength, etc.

I don't think he has the twitch/burst to start at LB.

He looks dazed and confused out there at LB. But we've actually played him at FB a fair amount, too, and he didn't really look noticeably great there either. I don't know; hopefully something clicks for him in the off-season. I'm not sure if it's strictly mental or what.

I think he was everyone's pick for an under the radar player that would produce here... to the point where he wasn't much of an underdog at all.

Yeah I have to agree. I was excited about him, but he looks too stiff at LB.

He looks like a FB to me. He is athletic so I hope he finds his way on the field in some capacity other than STs.

Being athletic is great but often it's whats between the ears ends up being more important.

He looks like a guy who will be decent as a RS Junior and Senior. He was/is not ready to play right now though, and that showed every time he was on the field.

 

[rayrayH2P]

I agree...he could be the guy at Fullback/H back. If he had a full offseason to prepare for the position switch, I think he would be all right.
Hope this happens. He would add a new element to the offense.

I never expect much from a kid until there JR or RSJR. Rare occasion a wr or rb will step right in. Kid will be fine in time

I believe i read he was a 3.5 - 4.0 student. Was not in LB room as a true freshman and think he was calling the defense this year. When he was in game.
Mike calls everything in Pitts D

It's not rare at all. The really good players here have shined well before their junior seasons much more often than not.

At what position other then. Wr or rb?

More than you may think over the years. I’ll just give you 2 examples from last years team. Dennis made 3rd team All ACC. Kancey was first team frosh All American.

Twyman was a beast as a redshirt sophomore. Whitehead was pretty damn good as a true freshman. Aston was doing it by his redshirt freshman, sophomore at the latest, year. As were Brian O'Neill, Johnson, and Bisnowaty. Ford's best year was as a redshirt sophomore. Dennis and Kancey are mentioned below. Mathis and Pinnock both began contributing as true freshmen and were pretty solid the next year. Weaver showed flashes and I believe started as a redshirt freshman. Morrissey has been our best lineman and had been starting since he was a redshirt freshman. Cam Bright had a really good year as a redshirt sophomore. Hamlin was pretty solid as a true sophomore. Jones was contributing in the delta package as a redshirt freshman. I could go on for the rest of the year, probably.

I actually think it's more rare for a really good player to not do some good things on the field and contribute heavily before he is a junior.

Yep. Most players that are really good have at least flashed by their junior season.
