oh wait, you meant football. Wasnt Wes Shivers bigger? I thought I remembered him being 6'7 and 330.</p>
i think he was a 5 year senior too....chem teacher asked him to stand up in the back of the room (making a joke how Wiz was guarding the door if any of you freshman walk out during class).....dude was the biggest guy i think ive ever seen....and yes, he had to be pushing 400.....good thing was, I think he was some kind of weight lifting champion.....

I think Wisner held some kind of junior powerlifting national title or something. He was massive. He had no neck. He was built for pushing and lifting. He looked about 5'-10" and 400 pounds.
I remember a reporter asking several players who was the strongest player on the team. Nobody named Wisner. When the reporter asked why Wisner wasn't named, the players said, "He doesn't count because he is in another league from everybody else".

After college, Wisner set a state record in the squat at 900 pounds. Also holds state deadlift record at 771 pounds.
He placed third in a national meet in 1997.
He began powerlifting in 7th grade.
In 1989, as a junior at South Natchez, Wisner was part of a USA powerlifting team that took on the USSR. He got to spend 10 days in Russia. He finished second in one of the USA vs USSR meets and first in the other.
I can't verify any of the above. It was taken from a newspaper article.
