He's going to play. He's received high praise for his work during the summer and the first couple of days of camp.

How much he plays will be predicated on his conditioning and my guess is that he just plays situationally this season. 10-12 snaps per game maybe?

If more than that, it means he got his conditioning right, so that will be a good thing.

That's good to hear - y'all run a version of the 3-4 right? Not sure he'd be able to go immediately in our 4-3. I've always liked Elam. Bama wanted him but his heart was torn between UT and UK during his recruiting cycle and as a border kid with family in both spots I can understand that. Glad UK got a good one from home - some, not all, but some, in-state kids can be a real help in terms of pride in the program, especially if they grow up fans (they want to do well by the state). Elam seems like the kind of kid who will play with a chip on his shoulder - he knows how hard it's been for UK and he's got a good amount of fight in him.

hes probably going to need to be in the 340-350 range to play more than a couple plays at a time consistently, still going to be a mountain of a man no matter what
