Kyle Mann

[Padreruf]

Just saw from Andrew Bone that Kyle Mann from Powder Springs, Ga. has committed as a walk on for 2020 (I believe). What do we know about him?

I don't live too far from his school...……………..I watched him during the season, and he's pretty good. 6 ft and 260 lbs.

Same HS as two verbal commits.

Looks like the old prototypical nose guard to me....add a little more weight and keep the quickness...can give OL's fits inside.

Kid could end up on scholarship before it's all said and done..... I can see him being on field in 2 to 3 years.

Was Nick Gentry originally a walk on? That kid ended up being a terror in the middle.

Wasn't long ago that a name with no other info was a "teaser title". How 'bout more info - the kind that tells us what the thread really is - in titles, folks.

Thanks RTR.

I am almost sure that he was not.

With Mann's size and being a walk on, he reminds me of Rudy Griffin. No idea if he has Rudy's drive and heart.

Anyone remember Sammy Gellerstedt (sp) early 70’s interior terror—unbelievably quick for the era.

I remember the name; had legendary quickness. Believe he played in the late 60's and maybe not very much. I seem to recall he had difficulties, but my father used to rave about the potential he had.

LOL..I mentioned him in another thread...he lettered in 1968...

There was a picture I recall of Gellerstedt holding up two other Bama players. It was fake of course but fun. Unfortunately his career ended acrimoniously when, I believe, he sued CPB for referencing him in CPB's book where he mentioned an unnamed player as not having good hygiene and being on drugs. I believe Gellerstedt completed his career at another institution. 1968 - 1969 were the CPB's low point at Bama.

He finished at U of Tampa where he was a "Little College All American." I googled his name and he is on Facebook and evidently has done well in the medical supplies arena. Good for him!!!

Good for Sam. I was at the University at the same time. he was troubled. Glad to see that it sounds like when Sam reached a fork in the road, he took the right path.
