Well, I watched his 2025 tape, and the first thing that stood out was that you’re dealing with a guy that has an outstanding size-speed profile. He has vertical explosiveness. He’s big. He’s 6’2 1/8”. He’s 207. And I loved what I saw in that regard.
But what I didn’t see in his 2025 tape was him working between the numbers much. So I said to myself, you know what, he transferred from Oklahoma State. So I said to myself, I’m going to go back and look at all of his pass targets from 2024, when he was at Oklahoma State. And you know what, he worked the middle of the field at Oklahoma State, really effectively.
So, when I was all done watching, probably, oh, I don’t know, 100, whatever the number of targets, maybe 200 plus, I came away really liking what I saw. I thought that he looked quick. He looked refined as a route runner. I think he can really develop into more than a vertical dimension. He’s absolutely a vertical dimension, because he can run by people. So I really, really like Stribling.
And just so you know, people listening, just so they know, I spoke to an offensive coach, who has been in this league for 35 years, who liked Stribling more than Makai Lemon. So all this consensus talk means absolutely nothing to anybody that has a brain.
