The Patriots and Alabama appear to do it every year. Theres actually nothing not to like about Alabama.”
” Tommys long and really explosive and really athletic,” said Blake Brockermeyer, who was inducted into the Texas Hall of Honor in 2015. “Hes most likely the most flexible, type of freaky bendy kid Ive ever seen. His body can twist and turn and bend in locations that, you see a great deal of big linemen that cant squat like even do a body weight squat, he actually can rest with his butt touching the ground.

His techniques are likewise advanced. He comprehends leverage being a little bit smaller sized than a lot of the linemen that are getting recruited now. They both have a high football IQ but I think James is exceptional.”
Its a substantial and high profile recruiting success for Scott and fellow Tide assistant Kyle Flood, who helped Alabama beat out schools like Texas despite the Brockermeyers being Fort Worth natives who have strong household ties with the University of Texas and its football program.
Hes got to get more powerful and hes got to keep enhancing, however hes got a truly great head start and has got great feet.”
