Not bad for a "5.6" 3* DT who if I'm not mistaken didn't have "commitable offers" from the SEC...From the article...Robert Nkemdiche who was the #1 HS Player overall is now considered a lesser prospect than our own:
1. Sheldon Rankins, defensive tackle, Louisville
“Offers the power to line up in the "A gap" and take on multiple blockers, but also has the lateral quickness to stunt and loop around bodies to close on the pocket. Displays terrific effort and is a determined chaser to catch ballcarriers from behind away from the line of scrimmage. He was nearly unblockable during one-on-one drills at the Senior Bowl due to his quickness off the whistle and powerful arms to drive blockers backward. He used a variety of hand moves to swat jabs and swim past the blocker's shoulder. Also impressed during 11-on-11 reps due to his ball awareness, and his ability to read, detach himself from the block and make plays in the backfield.” - CBS Sports’ Dane Brugler
