That's a silly statement, Debiase was a walk on at Miami and I'm still not sure if he is even a scholarship player here at USF. Thaxton was a scholarship player at Tennessee and tore up JUCO. Slade played last year at Arizona st but last year they moved to a 3-4 defense and he played end in a 3-4.
Both of those players are way more decorated than Debiase. I would not be surprised at all if he is walking on here.
