College Football Recruiting 2012: 4 Recruits with Major Question Marks or Flaws

Edwin WeathersbyJun 7, 2018

As with all evaluations of players and prospects in any sport, every player has a weakness or a flaw, or at least some question mark to their game. It's a natural part of evaluating, as no player is a flawless prospect.

For this read, I'm going to give you four recruits that have a major question mark or flaw in their game, especially as they move on to collegiate ball.

So, while these players are still prime-time prospects and very talented, here are four question-mark prospects.

4. Trey Williams, RB

1 of 4

It's obvious with Williams, isn't it? I love the jitterbug, quick and speedy back. I really, really do. I'm just not sure if a 5'8", (and that's generous) 180-pound (and that's generous too) RB can be an every-down RB in college.

Williams should become an explosive luxury offensive weapon for A&M, but I question his size and strength to be a cowbell back.

He lacks the strength to hold up, stop, stack and anchor as a pass protector and to also bang inside the tackles consistently.

3. Nelson Agholor, WR/DB

2 of 4

Agholor is one of the most athletically gifted players to come out in the past few years. Yes, the 6'1", 180-pounder is a supreme athlete that can play WR, CB and DS.

His tape shows him making "wow" play after "wow" play. But many people have questioned Agholor's competition with his high school team. The talk is he is always athletically superior to everyone else he plays against, as they rarely face better caliber of teams.

So critics say while he is a solid, sure-fire D-1 recruit, he may be a bit overrated due to him playing against inferior competition.

2. Kwon Alexander, OLB

3 of 4

I love, love, love what I see on tape from this guy. He's super athletic, rangy and a speedy defender that should become a great OLB in college, and I even think he can play SS.

At 6'2", 210 pounds, Alexander is also a great blitzer. But that's the thing: I think he's a blitzer—not a pass-rusher. In my opinion, he's a 4-3 OLB, and not really a good fit for a 3-4 OLB role.

Alabama is recruiting him hard, but I'm not sure where he fits best in their defensive front seven. He would be a stud for a 4-3 look.

1. Zach Banner, OT

4 of 4

Banner is a humongous OL prospect at 6'8", 305 pounds. They say in cleats and pads on the field, he stands 6'10". He's a solid OT with great strength and power.

But I have my doubts on if Banner is a LT. He struggles with speedy and quick pass-rushers and gets beat often by these types. As a LT, you face the team's best pass-rusher down after down, and the best pass-rushers are usually quick, speedy and shifty DEs.

Banner struggled with these types at The Opening earlier this month, and his film has shown the same. If he's having problems with high school speedy DEs, what are college DEs going to do to him?
