"..... In Orlando’s scheme he’ll be tasked to play big versus interior linemen while sometimes being asked to be a stand-up rusher. When not holding the point of attack, he’ll be asked to knife through and make plays. He demonstrates this ability throughout his tape, albeit against much lesser competition.
You can’t teach size, and at 6-foot-5 + and 250 pounds he has plenty of it. He also shows good lateral agility and initial quickness.
He won’t be a high sack number guy, but he will be versatile and reliable in all phases if he puts in the work.â€

Briscoe originally signed with my alma mater (UAB) before deciding to transfer out. He balled out for Sam Houston State.

Cummings has a 30" vertical which is not bad for someone that big (added ~25 lbs of muscle since he joined Ft. Worth All Saints last Jan)
“Quite honestly I see myself right now as a defensive end but who knows where I’ll be in a couple of years; I can easily put on a bunch of weight and be 300-pounds and be a great offensive tackle and help the team in that way. It’s something I could look into and I would not mind that if in a couple of years that’s the best for me but right now I’m looking more for a defensive end position. But, I never know what can happen in a couple of years.â€
Speaking of LTs --

here is a TFB article on current staff's recruiting acumen --
"......... This staff’s ability to evaluate has been impressive to me. I know a lot of Texas fans are accustomed to getting the “stars†but for someone who has been covering Oklahoma recruiting for a while, I can tell you that good evaluations of talent, fit and character are far better than following the stars or the offers. Often those things coincide but many times they do not.
Let’s take a look a quick look at Max Cummins. He stands at close to 6’6 and according to Max’s father, he currently weighs nearly 250 lbs. Last year around this time he was underweight at somewhere around 210 – 220 lbs. He was also playing at a small private school in Austin where he was receiving little to no assistance with his recruiting. Max was also playing every snap of the game at multiple positions. Kind of hard to learn a position or stand out at a position when you’re playing that many spots and are exhausted from playing so many snaps. It’s one of the classic reasons small school kids get overlooked. Fast forward to today and Cummins is bigger and stronger with a frame that may end up holding nearly 300 lbs before it’s all said and done. In fact, prior to his commitment to Texas he was being recruited by schools as a DE, TE and defensive tackle (4i/3 technique). His move to Ft Worth opened up exposure that he didn’t previously have and coaching that he didn’t previously have. It’s no wonder he recently picked up a Baylor offer and was set to host Oklahoma and TCU later this week. But Herman’s staff had been recruiting Cummins at Houston and continued to recruit him at Texas......"
