My guess is probably not. Being big isn't enough you have to be able to move. I haven't seen this guy play but it's likely he can't. 7' is too tall for one thing and he's about 100 lbs over the ideal size.

Had one.....Jack Gruenschlager. With the way this staff recruits there shouldn't be a reason to target a guy based off size alone.

He was at our last camp a couple weeks ago. Those that said he probably didn't move very well would be correct, he was slow and stiff. Hurt his arm/shoulder, in a sling, the first day, missed the 2nd but came back for the last session. Lets just say he has a long way to go before he can play at the FBS level.

For a lineman it is usually "low man wins" That's one of Elam's problems. When he gets tired, his first move is to stand up. He gets blasted off the line as soon as he does that. This problem would be double that for a seven footer.

I seriously doubt he can improve enough in 1 year at a prep school that he'll get any P5 offers. Maybe somebody will take a chance but he might even have to walk on somewhere.

[QUOTeyeE="andreIGUODOLLAsigns4UK, post: 4896868, member: 46034"]Cauley-Stein was a 7' wide receiver. He could move pretty well. So as stoops loves to say. WHY NOTTT?????[/QUOTE]
Cauley-Stein was also about 275 lbs lighter than that dude, so yeah, he could move.
