"He's got a long way to go. He's got
some natural things, very square, great
leverage in the lower body, just natu-
ral in his play, which gives him a big
advantage.
"I didn't anticipate the unique lever-
age that he has. Watching him move
around beforehand, you could see for
a 308-pounder, his flexibility is special.
You usually don't see that kind of flex-
ibility. When the leverage showed up,
it made a little bit of sense." ✦

BGI 2015 Post-Spring Defensive Depth Chart
The heights and weights were updated March 18, at the start of drills. The class year is what the player
will be once the 2015 season begins next September, with years of eligibility remaining afterwards.
Freshman defensive tackle Jerry Tillery impressed immediately after enrolling early in January, with head
coach Brian Kelly calling him a "unique talent" that will have a chance to make an impact this fall.
