SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic shares evaluations of top SEC 2019 commits
One of the most prominent high school all-star games, the Under Armour All-America Game, took place Thursday night in Orlando.
Former Auburn offensive lineman and current SEC Network analyst Cole Cubelic worked the practices, which gave him an opportunity to watch many of the top SEC commits for 2019 up close. If you like his weekly team takeaways during the season and follow recruiting, you’ll enjoy his SEC commitment takeaways from the Under Armour practices.
As you’ll see, there were a lot of Alabama, Auburn and Texas A&M commits participating in this game.
Had a chance to work the @AllAmericaGame practices earlier this week & wanted to share my thoughts on some of the players I was able to focus on & spend time with… #UAALLAMERICA Thread 👇

Kenyon Green- @AggieFootball –
Very quick feet. Good athlete. Good feel for pass sets, looks comfortable. Needs to add some weight. Perfect tackle frame. Long arms. Changes direction quickly. Quick feet.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Owen Pappoe- @AuburnFootball –
Incredible feet. Quick twitch. Good burst. Elite speed. Great attitude & demeanor. Lacks ideal size but could easily make up for it with speed & quickness.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Wanna Morris- @Vol_Football –
Ideal size & frame. Powerful lower body. Struggles with movement at times. Can contribute early but maturity will be a big factor to decide if that happens. Looked good at tackle & guard.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Zacch Pickens- @GamecockFB – Good size with nice length. Big time motor. Relentless. I can see him getting meaningful snaps next fall. Polished as a pass rusher. Brings a good pop on initial contact.

Evan Neal- @AlabamaFTBL –
Very impressive. Lot of power. Moves very well at 375. Told me he played at 360 “but the holidays”…Accepts coaching. Could see him at OG or OT. Gets weight out over his feet at times but not major issue. Very sharp guy. Finishes well!!— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Amari Night- @AlabamaFTBL – Just a Huge guy. Big, long, ideal tackle frame. Still raw. very good feet & body control. Will need a little more strength in lower half. Had a few nice wins in 1 on 1 pass rush vs Thibodeaux. Maybe not a day 1 starter but has a ton of upside.

Bo Nix- @AuburnFootball –
Big time arm strength. Serious command of the guys around him. Was the buzz of the entire deal. Won’t always give you the best looking ball but it will be accurate. Better size than most think. Gets it out quick. Seemed to be in control at all times.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Justin Eboigbe- @AlabamaFTBL –
Serious motor. Looks the part. Ferocious. Zero back down to anyone. Gets off the edge quick. Good variety of pass rush moves. Long arms.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
George Pickens- @AuburnFootball –
Ideal frame. Big catch radius. Guys seemed to gravitate to him. Won some tough 1 on 1’s. Won’t be throwing any passes. Sharp guy with great personality. FWIW had Auburn, LSU & UGA bracelets on…— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Isaiah Spiller- @AggieFootball –
Very explosive. Versatile. Powerful lower half. Can help in multiple ways.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Keiondre Jones- @AuburnFootball –
Good build. Carries weight well. Versatile, worked at center & both guards well. Solid lateral quickness. Good body control. I think he can help some in 2019 if needed.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Jordan Battle- @AlabamaFTBL –
Bigger than I expected. runs very well. Smart kid. Physical presence in the secondary. Fun personality. Attitude exactly why you want.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
Darrian Dalcourt- @AlabamaFTBL –
The most immediately ready OL I saw. Great stance. Great feet. Great body control. Comes off flat backed & keeps good leverage. Worked at both guards & didn’t miss a beat. Lot of power & very coachable. He can help in 2019. Lots of positives.— Cole Cubelic (@colecubelic) January 4, 2019
