Just read some more about Braden Smith 6'7 with 7'0 wingspan bench presses 500lbs and has a 37" vert.

6'7 290 only 8% body fat coaches think he has the frame for 40-50 more lbs

He would need a few years to put on weight but looks like he could play OG or OT

No, he really doesn't need to put on much weight

I understand this, but there is a limit to how much good weight you can put on a frame. He is 290 and cut as shite. You could put another 30 lbs on him, but how much will actually be good weight? With his strength, getting him around 305/310 is all he probably needs.

I agree. At 6'7", he needs to be around 320-330. On a frame that large, his footwork isn't going to suffer that much for an extra 30 lbs. On the other hand, if his speed and hands were good enough to be a tight end.....wow.

those make the best OLinemen, imo... those midwesterners have that scandinavian background, and it's why teams like Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa seem to always have good OLs.

down here in the south, we just got fat guys (see pic of jordan sims).

I agree, at that height he needs more weight and will likely want to play at 320-330.

Smith is too pedestrian of a last name for him.

I will now refer to him as Braden Engström

Per AUC on Lambert LINK

-"I didn't fail a class. I'm still working on a correspondence class, that's all."

-Lambert says he should be done with the class before the end of the month.

Ricky Parks has been offered a spot as a walk-on, but the staff has not heard back from him.

Pretty sure he takes it...

I would be surprised if he doesn't earn an extra scholarship as soon as One is available

Yea, I'd be shocked if he didn't eventually earn one, and good thing too...we're going to need him in the Jay Prosch role.

Do you know when he can enroll?
