That's crazy. You almost wonder if that's TOO tall and that seems like an insane timeline. Probably should process him so he can transfer to Missouri.

UGA is to the point where they are just making up challenges for themselves.

He’s a project to be sure. Hasn’t played football very long. But the measurables and athletic baseline are there. We’ll see if we can mold him into a real player.

His basketball experience is a plus in developoing his footwork. He may not be Usain Bolt but seems quick enough for his size. I just can imagine a goalline play specifically for him. How does a 5' 10" guy cover him if he jumps to catch the ball?

Look at that kid next to my 6’2” kicker son.



Just a massive fella, even for SEC football players.

There have been multiple ol at 6’9 and successful. He’s a developmental player with high upside. Let’s see where he’s at in 2-3 years

We’d be getting much better offers if it was.

Kid on the right looks 24…not sure how he’s ~17.

It pretty much is. Low man usually wins on o-line, or should.
My high school had a true 6-11, 302 player. Great kid, but was pretty much a tree on the field. Not much of a problem to get around him.
That said, he was valuable in the middle of the d-line on field goal and extra point attempts.
