Folks, that photo is of a 15 year old. He's an absolute mauler who also started as a freshman. Check out this video from 2010:
Too damn bad he goes to Pondo.

hi he a DT or an OT nik?
Still early yet to say where this kid will play I think. He appears from that video to be a VERY fluid athlete for such a big kid. If he continues to add some power and pass rushing ability, i could see CU looking at him on the DLine. We have a hard time finding those guys, so some homegrown products who actually have some skill would be a great thing. Especially at DT/NT.
He doesn't just move the pile - he is the pile. I felt kinda sorry for some of those little guys out there...

Good thing my brother plays center and won't have to face him in a year or two.
In with the first offer.

#CUBuffs the first to offer Parker Ponderosa OT Chris Fox. Early on it looks like he is the top recruit in CO from the Class of 2013.
He doesn't just run over people (although he does that to,) he actually uses his hands and good leverage at the point of attack. Same thing tackling, he gets his arms around the ball carriet quickly and solidly. When he can he wraps with one arm and goes after the ball with the other. Shows that he isn't just a big kid in a helmet, he listens to his coaches and applies it on the field.
I would love to have this kid identify himself as a Buff. John Major committed fairly early to CU and I hope that he is mentioned a lot at Ponderosa as someone to emulate.
