Great to see a KY kid stay home and help out in a position of need!

How possible is it that he sees significant time at RT next year? I know it isn't preferable but that's a position that I think we're going to struggle at, especially if GAA moves to guard.

Can't be, can't be, can't be. People on here this weekend were poo-pooing his game vs Male. They clearly know more than Rivals. Can't be.

I know you aren't serious but the one that saw the games and downgraded him was a Card fan, and in a later posts another Card fan (AJCard??) that was there really liked his potential.

IMHO... I think that he is better suited for LT. I also think that Tate Leavitt is better suited for RT.

He is skinny at nearly 300 pounds. The kid looks like he will blossom when he starts eating more and working in a college regimen. He is good natured kid and looks like he is in his 30's. Fans are going to like him.

His body fat is insanely low. In his midsection he is leaner than 99% of the offensive linemen you'll come across but his arms are very muscular. He's never going to be built the way you see some offensive linemen but that's a good thing. When he was a 225 pound emerging prospect I wondered how big he would get, but the way he's grown is rare in that he's hit all the weight benchmarks but he's done so and kept a lower body fat than I've probably ever seen.

I think that low body fat % is what will make him special.

Forgive the horn too here, but in another life on the other board I tried to tell everyone a while back this was going to happen. Fortunate to watch him grow up the last several years. Said then that the kid was just a different breed athletically. Didn't fit the mold of his position and the recruiting services didn't know what to do with him. But you could see him growing into such a specimen he couldn't be ignored. I feel better now!
