TE Danny Lewis Jr. Signs with bama

[TheRealPokeChop]

Roll tide, welcome aboard. The influx of talent at tight end is much needed. His commitment was pretty solid too if you can find the video.

Roll Tide Danny! You're safe from Brian Kelly in Tuscaloosa

Danny, ahead of your arrival, please review all available practice footage of Billingsley. If you work hard and do the exact opposite of what he did (but I repeat myself), you should be fine.

Good pickup…….. he is very physical

Decommitted from Cincinnati last month.

more of a blocker or receiver? Both? Good size.

That was uncalled for. We have to be better.


I've really watched this kid since he was offered , big bodied TE that uses his body well to shield defenders, high points the ball well, attacks the ball in the air. I don’t know think there is anyone on the roster with his skill set and body build. I know he lined up at WR, but he is a Y TE. Prototypical . Watching his film, I wonder why he was ranked so low by the services. I guess for the same reason so many programs were late on him .

Here is his senior year highlight video. Appears to have good ball skills and solid blocker. Not going to run by you but not sure he should be ranked as low as #611 overall and #30 TE. Welcome and RTR Danny.

6'4 260 ish. Good size. Plays all over the place in high school lined up out wide in some plays. Should be able to grow into a complete tight end.

I hadn't seen any highlights for him before watching this video. I agree TiderJack's assessment. Doesn't look like he has blazing speed, but he appears to have very good hands and looks really physical with great size. Watching him play made me smile. He looks like a winner.

Shocked that Brian Kelly's dancing did not sway him.......................In all seriousness though I cannot think of a tight end in the Saban era that is anything like him other than maybe Michael Williams. This guy is large and seems pretty athletic for that size.

OJ Howard?

OJ Howard?

OJ never blocked all that well, kid may not be OJ but if can be red zone target and block he'll do well

 

[jjv0004]

OJ Howard?

Did not remember Howard weighing that much. Lewis looks huge out there. I think he is 260.

Which is what we need!

I watched the NCG. IMO, it was called for. Sorry you disagree.

 

[TiderJack]

OJ Howard?

OJ appears to be a good bit faster than this kid. I'm thinking Preston Dial type, he may not make all-conference and may not play in the NFL but could be a solid contributor.

Kelly definitely looked like a predator in those dance videos..

I agree it wasn’t his best effort. I’ll leave it at that. We’re good.
