Damn, that's a big boy.

And you can tell there's plenty of room to fill out, especially in the shoulders. Once they toss him into the weight room, he's gonna be a monster. I think the ceiling is unlimited with this guy, but it's all about desire. Hopefully he has that.
I am not sure I'd be concerned about the desire of a guy who's willing to move halfway around the globe to a wholly different country and culture to pursue his dreams.
the guy is definitely a project but he's got the frame and feet, it looks like. the competition he's seen hasn't been on par with us football, of course. we'll know in about 3 years i would guess. i am super interested to see how this one goes over time.
biggest questions for me are if and how quickly he can catch up regarding his technique as hell be severely lacking there, id imagine, and if he can adjust to the speed and violence of the game in the states.
I mean, CU just went through this with an international player at the beginning of the season and the kid bailed after day one. I think that is an extremely fair and legitimate point to make.
absolutely! that's why i think it is about a 3 year process-- he looks like an athlete. giant wingspan OTs don't grow on trees. good luck to him! and us!
he was from a different part down under, though

I agree, that's why I'm high on this guy. I think he's going to be a stud.

Wasn't he a kicker?
No. He was a TE/DE/Lineman of some sorts I believe? Sebastian Olver.

Yes, correct, I mixed him up with our current Aussie.

Went to CSU, right?
That was his plan initially, but he's not on the roster there. I feel like I heard he went to Canada or something? Not sure.
He then bailed after a few weeks there as well.
Don’t ask me.
And they’re both from the same country.

The Olver kid clearly has "some kangaroos loose in the top paddock" (Google it) ... can't compare him with Venn in any way.. Olver played HS ball in CA and had many offers from MWC programs
Venn is a risk sure, but is only 1 roster spot and not like we have 4 or 5 stars knocking down the door

Happy Valentin Day
That is actually very impressive.
I am not sure, but he might be competing in the mixed doubles league of lawn darts in Nova Scotia.
Impressive! It will be fun seeing how he stacks up at this stage of his development. Congrats, Senn, and Go Buffs!
