He really needs Holsapple's program, though, as he is listed as 6'3" and only 194lbs.
He did earn Missouri class 6A 1st team defense honors.

Getting to the QB certainly can't be understated. Instinct/desire/drive are key there, and he seems to have those.
The listed size - especially the weight - seems like a stretch to me, from seeing pictures of the kid. It looks like he has a really thin frame. Not sure he can get much above 220-225 without losing agility/speed. He looks a little bigger on film than in recent photos, though, and seems to have really long arms, which is a plus.
Also... pretty sure he was second-team all-state. That's where the Star lists him on the 2011 all-state team.
