Quote from: uconnjack8 on April 30, 2025, 10:10:21 AMThe more I watch of him the more I see an elusiveness coupled with being tough tackle.  I don't see him initiating contact and looking to lay out guys, although he will lower the shoulder at some points. 

He kind of reminds of a Duce Staley type. 
Absolutely. He has great vision from the time before he's handed the ball, throughout the second level. He avoids hits with a simple cut.

Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

The only thing Skattebo lacks is top-end speed. So you will have to settle for tons of doubles and triples over some home runs

I hope his game transfers to the NFL.  In the NFL, players tackle better and are faster.  I was more partial to Tuten as he has legit 4.35 speed and is more of an Achane type breakaway back.
