tall center.

Absolutely huge, too. Some sites listed him at 340 pounds as a high school sophomore.

is he too big to be a center?

Brother's heading to Minnesota, dad went to TCU and Oklahoma has made a connection.

Would love to have him, but I'm not feeling it.

I think we've got a much better shot of finding our Center by flipping Risner off KSU.

This kid is good, BCS quality for sure. More catcher than explosive hands, but has a naturally strong setup of hands, pad level where he hits on the rise and gets good movement. Good body type where he can hold weight, carry it well on top and bottom but he's still got baby fat. More of a plodder than explosive ZBS type. He could be if a weight strength coach works on his conditioning better. His HS coaching isn't too good. He always takes a step back upon the snap of the ball, losing ground instead of gaining in. It's amazing how much better he could be when that little issue is fixed in his game especially considering how much movement gets after he lays into guys.
