Versatile Tight End From Massachusetts Commits To Pitt, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Welcome To Pitt Mister Symonds.......
When Jay Symonds enrolls at Pitt next year and joins the 2018 football team, he might have to make a serious adjustment. It might be the first time since seventh grade he won't be in the starting lineup. He has started at Cambridge (Mass.) Buckingham, Browne and Nichols High School since he was a 6-foot-1, 175-pound eighth-grader......................“When I was 13,” Symonds said of his age as a varsity starter. “I was always kind of a bigger kid. I grew up playing with kids two or three years older.” Pitt recruited Symonds (pronounced Simmons) to play tight end, but he has handled several positions in high school, including H-back, fullback, outside linebacker and multiple positions on the defensive line.................

Versatile.

He's so versatile that he won't be a tight end. Symonds will be spending his time in Andre Powell's position room with the running backs. The Pitt coaches see him as the next George Aston. Here's more insight on what the Pitt coaches see for him.

OMG--no star rating! Lol. Sarcasm

If the goal is to install this kid into a similar position as Aston, this is a great pickup. He's tough to bring down, and shows the ability (several times in the highlight video) to run over a player and knock off their helmet.

Because he is so versatile...and big....would they really make him into an Aston type player? I thought Aston was more compact. I didn't look at his speed, but at that size, why not DE or OL if they don't use him as a TE?

The plan is to use him like Aston; that's specifically what the coaches have told Symonds. They even said they see him as a bigger version of Aston.

Thanks Chris. The coaches do know best. I hope he turns out at least 80% as good as Aston. That would make him a heck of a get.
