Went to a recruiting event this weekend and there was a 6’11” 330 lb fella there…my son is 6’2”, and the obvious kicker of the group:
LOL at my son, and holy shite.
It’s Jahzare Jackson, and apparently he’s an IMG (may have made that up) 3 star (or directly to the pros?) basketball player who is transitioning to football.

He was very well spoken and interacted with the support staff all day. Guess they peg him O-line smart. I imagine his feet are quick from basketball, but does that translate to the athleticism required to play on the line in the SEC? Elite size no matter what.

Yea. They each had to make fried rice.

I would find it surprising if anyone 6’ 11” could consistently stay low enough to get the leverage they need as a lineman. Especially as an interior lineman. He might could make it as a defensive end, possibly an OT, but I can’t see it working out as an interior lineman. I think he would still struggle as an offensive tackle, but a lot of teams are so desperate there they might give him a shot.

WTF? Is Sunbelt Billy giving recruits baking lessons? They looked thrilled.

If he wants an LSU offer there is a way Get your son to kick balls at Kellys office window at FB ops.
