Look at the size of this lad. Absolute unit
I wonder how many celestial bodies are in orbit around him?
looks like he is so big they had to make a special clarinet
he makes that bass clarinet look like a piccolo
...posting about a 370 pound 14 year old... Username checks out...
I love how the article says that at his gym, he is too big and strong to compete in reps against anyone his own age, and therefore must compete against Stephen Herron. Iron sharpens Iron. Also seems like a smart and likable kid. Obviously, there is still a long way to go, and who knows how he will turn out, but I would love for us to keep recruiting him hard.
that kid is eating - can we put it on the training table for our Offensive Line?
I graduated high school at 124#, i could have used this kids tube sock as a sleeping bag. JEZZZZZUS!
Would not recommend using a teenagers tube sock for anything...
considering i gradutated high school 16 years before this youngster was a gleam in his pappa's eye.....
We now know that you are a skinny male 48 year old Michigan fan living in Pennsylvania. Be at your house in 5 hours...
This comment mixed with your picture is terrifying.
At 7 feet he is probably too tall for football and honestly he should save his mind if his passion is in music, art, and robotics. Shouldn't play football just because he is big.
Yeah, unfortunately he will outgrow football :(
Could look into Wrastling or maybe basketball though.
Onwenu is the exception, not the rule, and he's trying to get his weight down to improve his endurance. Also, 6'7" at 14 means a good chance he'll be too tall by 18.
More to football than being big, is the reality.
which is going to make him far too big to be an effective OT at this level. Maybe he should think about being a (basketball) center
I had a salty old SOB of a DL coach who taught us to drop a knee into the kidney of guys who cut blocked.
It took me forty years and two growth spurts at 13 and 15 to get to 5'9".
Apparently, I needed to drink the water a few streets over or something. I don't know.
All I can say is....yikes.
he could dot the whole alphabet for M when they play the "Victors"!
He must like his steak and milk
Before their NFL careers, Bubba Paris and Ed Muransky roamed A2 like dinosaurs and were gigantic compared to other football linemen, let alone non athletes. The pair were each about 6'7" and around 300 pounds. Ed picked up Bo after the 1981 Rose Bowl victory like he was a twig. This 14 year old is bigger than both of them!
Great story from Wikipedia: Muransky also set the all-time "Beef Bowl" record by consuming 8 pounds (3.63 kg)[6] of prime rib at Lawry's before the 1979 Rose Bowl. Muransky later recalled: "Bubba Paris and I were two happy freshmen eating together at the Lawry's Beef Bowl event before the 1979 Rose Bowl Game. After we had enjoyed our fourth plate of prime rib, mashed potatoes, corn and Yorkshire pudding, Bubba asked what the record was, and they said 7 cuts. Bubba continued for 3 more cuts, and I continued for four, totally under the Bo Schembechler radar screen. When they delivered the 8th cut to me, the media started to gather around my table, Bo walked by and let me know what he was thinking without ever saying a word. Afterward, a Paris-Muransky night out ended with some pizza. The next morning in practice, Bo made an example of Bubba and me. We never ran so much in our lives as we did that day. We were in every play of scrimmage and then we ran sprints."[7] When the Wolverines returned to Pasadena for the 1981 Rose Bowl, "Bo made it a point to come to the back of the plane and talk to me and Bubba Paris. He wanted to let us know that my record from a couple years earlier would not be in jeopardy because we were going to be sitting with him at the Lawry's Beef Bowl. He said he was going to limit each of us to two cuts of prime rib."[7]
Schembechler had his own take on the story: "I let 'em eat because they were freshmen. They weren't gonna play anyway.
