Watched him play in high school. Ridiculously dynamic, but IIRC, he was 196 pounds per Rivals, but very clearly a linebacker. He was offered by Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, Harvard, Northwestern, Princeton and Utah. So I'm guessing he had the numbers to be admitted to Stanford. Was rated three stars, not especially high.
He's a 6' and 221 pound senior now and the terror of the Pac 12.
