GEORGE UKO

Uko is a pretty interesting player. As you watch him, you never really know what you will see or get from play to play. In one instance, you will see him beat everyone off the ball and crash the backfield. In another, you will see him make a nice quick move and blow by a blocker or see him get tall and absorb a block. The kid shows some flashes, but needs to find some consistency. He has solid size and looks on film to have the frame to add more good bulk. He has a good get-off, but needs to be more consistent. He displays good, raw strength to take on blocks. He is a tough kid to move off the ball even facing double teams. He can be good with his hands, but needs to be more consistent using them to separate and help him shed. He can be a bit of a risk taker. You might see him pop up and take on a blocker with a quick swim and get penetration. You can expect Uko to make an exciting play, but you need to brace yourself for the fact that he may also run himself out of position. He has a good motor. He can be a solid tackler at times, but can look for the kill shot at times and whiff. As a pass-rusher, he can beat his man with a quick move and will also display the ability to be very violent with his weapons. Uko is a fun kid to watch. He can be disruptive, but may also add some premature gray hairs to his coaches' head. Good prospect, with some upside if he can just channel some of his energy and become a little more consistent.
