Either way, not a real big kid currently, but hopefully has the frame to fill out...unless they're planning on using him as a DE instead.

OK, did a bit of searching thru Avondale's athletics.... He's now listed by them at least as 6'4" and 265....just slightly larger than the recruiting sites listed him...twill be interesting to see how big he REALLY is.

Re: New OL from Meechigan
ESPN inside article has him listed at 6'4 270.

I would think he projects as a tackle. Remember he is more than likely 2 full years away from seeing the field (HS senior and then redshirt). BG coaches have stated in the past they like tall offensive linemen with good frames. 2 years from now and after being in a college weight program will probably have him closer to 300-310.
Akron and Western offered, UC and Syracuse showed interest. Good to win a recruiting battle with other MAC schools.

What I like about him is that he is 15 yards down field trying to hit people and he seems to be pretty athletic for a big guy.

I'd seen the video too....most of the plays shown were running plays with him on the LEFT side...assuming he stays in his "natural" position, he'll need to work on his pass protection footwork. On film he looks every bit of the 6'4"- 260+....

Too bad he isn't a hockey player...we could call him "King"
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.

yes, but most people are too young to remember him, or if they are not a hockey history follower, might think of that s something else. hint: a type of act.
