Welcome to Warrior Nation, D Russ. I am looking forward to a large DL that can hold the point, make plays, but more importantly keep the OL of the LBs.

Things I saw in highlight film that are a good sign:
Uses his hands well to shed blocks, has instincts and gets to ball

Few challenges I'm sure the coaches will correct:
Stands straight up most of the time, so loses power, leverage and that won't work @ the D1 level.
Lacks explosiveness, which may change once he's under the strength and conditioning trainers @ UH as well as growing into his "man" strength.
Be humble and confident in yourself and all things you do. :zook:

Russell is a big add for our D-Line.

I added his video and other info onto the original post. He was 1st team All-State in Washington.

This is the kind of commitment we need.
He visited UH three weeks ago but wanted to be absolutely sure before making a decision. “I didn’t want to commit to de-commit,” he said. “That’s not the person I am. If I give my word, I want to keep my word.”

He's a big get... literally. With lack of depth at position, he may be immediate impact in the rotation. Go Bows!!!

Me too. I admit that I was sweating. Big Doug, and Dough Boy too. Awesome!
