He's playing pretty well in practice. I wouldn't be surprised if they forgo a redshirt and he ends up getting significant PT.

If his gut was wider than his shoulders then that's an issue, but I really just see a big dude. For reference, here's another NT you guys may have heard of who ended up playing pretty well:
