Notes from Olin's thoughts on Madubuike

  • Everyone has raved on the guy. He was supposed to be a defensive end, but he grew into be a defensive tackle. Has any of the quickness or speed been affected by his growth? If they have a need at defensive end, he is a candidate to slide back outside.

  • The characteristic of a great defensive tackle is one that can move like a defensive end. At his size, if he can continue to move like a defensive end, he could end up being really special. I want to see it before I say he is going to be really great, but he has great size and quickness. Quickness is important. I’ve seen some undersized defensive tackles dominate because of their quickness.

  • Maybe in a 4-3 look, sometimes you switch him out to end. There are so many things you can do with a guy of that size, strength, and quickness. If everything we are hearing about him is on point, Madubuike could turn out to be really special.

  • You wonder if he’s going to be in the starting lineup, and if he’s not, how long will it take to get him in there as a starter? That defensive tackle position is really strong and he is one of the reasons we think the defensive line is going to be a strength.

I was fortunate enough to scout this guy for two years while his McKinney North team beat the ever living crap out of our team. Great motor and looked like he was always having a great time on the sideline.

I coached for 10 years and scouted for three different high schools in DFW over that span of time. Other notables that I've scouted include Jay Ajayi, Cody Thomas, Kendial Lawerence, and many others. Watched film on a whole lot more. I stayed in the middle school battlegrounds and was athletic coordinator until I stepped down in June to spend more time with family and pursue a job in educational administration.

No offense, but I figured you for a techie. Some career in the IT field. Don't know why, alas, I am wrong again.

Time with your family. That'll pay off. Congrats on that move. Coaching will only keep you moving lol.

Best of luck!

I don't either.

From his posts he definitely sounds more like a dumb jock trying to be funny than someone who could make it in IT.
