I think he only has a few offers right now. I saw him play against Southlake two weeks ago. Huge, but really slow and uncoordinated. Will be interesting to watch him develop though. He still has another year in HS.
He is 2025 but a quick search says Texas right now
Need to get this kid in to help with the OL.
This photo of him went viral over the weekend. The other player is listed at 6'3", 215 .lbs.
Holding.
But seriously I doubt the kid moves nearly fast enough to play OL.

Sure we could sign him, but we'd still have the other side of the line to fill out.
Any updates on how #11 is doing?
When he falls you best be out of the way.

There is a diminishing return on size and as he goes up against physically mature and faster players he will have trouble at that weight.
There is a reason most of the top shelf OT's have maxed at 6-4 - 6-6 & 320ish for the past decade. At a certain point that extra mass/muscle works against you in physical sports like football, fighting, etc.
He will get a nutritionist and S&C coach in college to bring his weight down and build better muscle.Scotty Appleton said:

I see this monster dropping 40 pounds his redshirt freshman year.
And that is still too big and too tall. Fast edge rushers will get under and around him. These huge OL typically pop up every year and they fizzle as they get older and those 250-260 lb DE's are much quicker and just as strong.
Sweat, the outland trophy winner was 6' 4" and 365. Athletes that excel at this level are 1 in a million but with proper coaching and conditioning who knows what this young mans ceiling may be.Only Fans Director said:He will get a nutritionist and S&C coach in college to bring his weight down and build better muscle.Scotty Appleton said:

Y'all need to think outside the box…nobody is stopping this from the 5 yard line.
Needs to play defense. He can clog up one whole side of the line.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
but can he play corner?

He is tall enough to play corner for Elko.
#11 looks like he was "rearranged".

Nope. After we're done getting him coordinated and in shape, he'll leave. Get TP OL from now on.
These big, giant 400 pound kids are fun to look at, but they never work out.
You still have to be an athlete to play this game, not just big.

For short yardage I'd want him on my OL
Weak ankles
Not gonna work in the SEC. He's not athletic at all.
Claude is a BIG t-shirt 'sip. Good luck recruiting the players he coaches.

Like a bigger Javorski Lane
What about safety? How could a WR concentrate knowing he may be takled by this giant?
3rd or 4th and 3. Give him the ball.

Holding. 10 yards. 20 yards for having to hold someone 1/3rd his size.

Von and Myles would get this kid so twisted his legs would fall off.
Put him on Mounjaro and have him run laps and practice ballet and he'll be a 5 star
….middle of D line on short yardage situations

He's already got the technique to start for Bama!

I am guessing a wider split between O line players was designed to help with this Obviously we don't run it but I am guessing Leach used this wrinkle because he had big players that had mediocre footwork and quickness
No. No he wouldn't. Why do you guys think he'd be playing Tackle? Yeah, he needs to lose 30-40 pounds and get quicker, but even then, nobody is playing him any other position than Guard.Muy said:Scotty Appleton said:

Everybody wants the next great tackle that will go top 5 in the draft
A good OLine needs guards and a center
