The Lions' Pride

Lots to like about his film, but agree with whoever says he nees to play lower. Also needs a wider base. Would have loved to see more of him going up against that big #74 at the 2:52 mark, just becuase he was going up against so many smaller kids. He certainly gets to second level, and he seems to have some mauler in him.

I wanted also to understand what kind of competion Hershey plays against, so I looked and found it's decent. They beat Cedar Cliff with AB and Andrew Ford 41-20, and some other Mid-Penn teams. But they got clocked by McDevitt 42-0. Any Harrisburg area posters seen him play in person?

Nelson falls under the "How the heck does this kid not have more offers, maybe I need to go back and watch the film again to make sure I'm not crazy" category of recruits. Athletic, good feet/hands/overall body control. I guess my concern is that he has a somewhat leaner/athletic body type, which is probably why he doesn't move like an offensive lineman. There's nothing wrong a big backside body type when it comes offensive linemen. All the good stuff is of him showing off his overall athleticism, not much of him taking someone head-on and driving them back. Basically, zero concerns athletically, that won't hold him back. How will he fill out physically? Well, they just got a look at him up close and decided that wasn't an issue, so that's a good sign. Interesting kid.

Also, not seeing any issues with him playing too high.
