I can't help but look at some of his photos. Isn't it easier to put on weight than it is to take it off? I am concerned that if this kid isn't serious about football 365 days a year he is going to get heavier and slower. The huge heavy lineman we've recruited over the past 15 years haven't really ended up starting. Its the tall big framed men that grown until they are upper classmen that prove best. Like I am an expert?
What about the fact that the best offer he had came from MSU. Besides us it was between the MAC and Indiana?
All that said he did get a good report from JC and PK. |
Don't even ask me to try to find it, but I read somewhere that they thought his weight was a good thing. I guess he doesn't have great speed, but he's adequate and does so with the weight already on. Other guys they wonder about how they will react when they add weight to their frame. This could have been a total homer article or maybe some true football guys can shed some light, but that's what I saw once. Not sure if that helps or not. All that being said, I'd hope he could shed a few pounds of what appears to be baby fat and tighten up, maybe even get a little quicker in the process.
