per my nephew, Garrett McGuire swung by Allen (TX) HS “looking at Defensive Backs.” Made his way through the weight room while players were lifting

You sure he isn't trying to enroll there for his senior year?

Does the NCAA have any by-laws against coaches implementing a 21 Jump Street scenario for recruiting purposes?

My brother just texted me about this kid.
Said he hasn’t done much so far on the football field but faster than ScoFro running down the stairs from LP.

Maryland Football Recruiting: Juco prospect set to host Terps, likes the idea of grinding in the Big Ten​

The latest from the Maryland football recruiting trail.​

JEFF ERMANN23 hrsVIP31


Maryland football's staff would like to add one or two more linemen to replace a few outgoing veterans, and one option is Dylan Christley, a standout at Maricopa Junior College (Ariz.).

"They're coming here on Tuesday. They want to talk in person. the defensive line coach [Brian Williams] is coming out," said Christley, an athletic 275-pounder who totaled 11.5 sacks, 30 tackles and two forced fumbles during an eight-game season. "They they D-linemen. They're really looking for the right guy."

Christley would like to make a commitment within the next two weeks so he can enroll for the spring semester. If Maryland offers

"I haven't set any visits right now. I'm gonna set them up sometime next week most likely."

Nebraska, Illinois, Arizona State, Colorado State and others are also pursuing Christley, a Tennessee native. Who's most interested?


"All of them. I'm probably getting calls from all of them three or four times a week," he said. "They think I'm different [at] 6-2, 275 [pounds], run a 4.4. They like that athleticism."

Christley (video below) likes Maryland's role as a scrappy underdog working to climb the Big Ten hierarchy.

"I think that Maryland is really that school that is fighting to rise in the Big Ten. They're not at the top of the Big Ten, which makes it great because we can get it to the top if we grind," he said.

What's he looking for?

"Really just, education comes first, but football-wise, a place that wants me to come in and immediately make an impact, and just the right fit for me," he said.

Where would he land on the Terps defensive line if he ends up at Maryland?

They see me all over," he said. "I'm big enough to play inside, but fast enough to play outside."

Our 24’ QB is so good no one in the country wants to compete with him.

Luckily for us Raiola’s bones are made of adamantium

there is some kind of story behind Christley. I can find 4 JUCOs that showed him on their roster in the last 2-3 years

My dad was a USNA grad. His last station was the pentagon so we moved back up into the DMV. When we were there they “sponsored” a ton of mids over the years. And because of that we went to a lot of sports events. Men’s and women’s basketball, sprint football, lacrosse, women’s soccer, wrestling, baseball… and every single football game.

I’d go to those games and I’d see the other athletes there supporting their classmates, brigade mates, or company mates. Cheering so loudly. It was so cool seeing that support. Really felt the culture of togetherness. Growing up it’s what I imagined college was like.

I never felt that in Lincoln. It was pretty much only about the football team, at least from where I was standing. I don’t recall any of the players going to other sports en masse. But it makes sense. USNA is a small school. It’s a lot easier to build bonds because the school forces you to.

Rhule seems to be working to make the entire school come together. And that it’s not just about the football program. It really is about doing the right thing. Being a good person. It’s heart warming.

You sure he isn't trying to enroll there for his senior year?

Anyone else still have this nightmare? Sometimes it’s that I need to go back to high school. Sometimes it’s that I didn’t attend class and now I’ve got a final.

I have it about college - a class I forget to go to, a final I forget about, and a last minute frenzy. Or, as you say, unexpectedly going back years later to finish.

Was definitely skeptical of the 40 reps, the video confirmed that not one of those reps would have counted at the NFL combine. That being said, still impressive and probably would throw around low-mid 30s.

Yeah the fact that he had the weight unracked and moving for ~40 seconds regardless of whether the reps were locked out in the strictest sense is pretty impressive strength.
