The Scarlet Knights scored a big commitment Monday in Long Branch (N.J.) defensive end Kaymar Mimes, the brother of Raiders outside linebacker Shilique Calhoun. Mimes has good length, athleticism and high developmental upside. So let's break down how exactly his addition will positively affect the program coming off a 4-8 year.
Rush end/outside linebacker/weak-side defensive end Although he'll eventually grow into more of a traditional defensive end, right now, Mimes projects best as more of a weak-side pass rusher, rush end, and maybe even outside linebacker. Mimes has been 6-5 and about 225 pounds since I met him following his freshman year, showing he's somewhere around his natural weight right now.
