Jalen Hurd at 242 lbs

[Loweboy]

I have seen multiple tweets that says Hurd is now at 242 pounds. Is there anything official on this?

He certainly will be the quickest nose tackle in the SEC by his senior year.

I figured he would finish his career around 245ish. He has the size to really punish defenders, particularly late in the game.

I seent it on the VolNation so it must be true! :rock:

CBJ said he was that weight at some point when he was talking. I think there's an article on B/R that quoted it as well.

No more needed... he's not a tight end or fullback. 235 might be a better PW.

 

[TAF]

PERFECT Tight End size...

I think 240ish would be alright to start the season at. Don't players usually drop some pounds throughout the season.

I think this thread is inferior to the Jalen Hurd At 240 lbs ...Style points and personal preference. :good!:

 

[Tennman]

A beast

 

[Loweboy]

At that size, he can line up as fullback in the I, and have Kamara at tailback.

 

[Volador]

242? Does Gruden approve of this??....!!

 

[chargervol]

CBJ did say that yesterday. He will most likely lose some this fall and be playing at a fairly ideal weight for him.

He is tall... might work for him.

I think that Herschel was around 240.

Good. Another position! I was getting worried he would get stuck at TB with no other options out there.

 

[triad280]

He will drop a few to start the season and play the rest of the season around 230-235.Most drop a few lbs during the season. I think I read he played last year around 217, and at 6'3" is too slim...

 

[Roustabout]

He can carry more weight.

 

[ecs4dvols]

He's going to be an absolute bruiser for us late in the 4th quarter when our up tempo offense has the defense tired... Those arm tackles just won't work when he lowers his shoulders! GBO!

 

[ZippyMorocco]

he is tall... Might work for him.

I think that herschel was around 240.

6'-1", 222#

I'm sorry I forgot you guys were professional trainers in the SEC and know what his ideal weight is.. Maybe leave the speculations to the trainers whose job it is to train these guys to the ideal potential.
He will be a monster.

He's a Munchkin

Trainers have already said they want him around 230-235. How about you spend a little less time in the salt mines. It's just a discussion, nothing serious.lol

 

[FlyFishnVol]

Not to many DBs are going to want to go head on with that.......BEAST MODE!

Umm, why would professional trainers speculate? If that is the case, there is no difference between us.

He looked skinny last year at 230-235, so this doesn't surprise me. Remember as well that last offseason he couldn't really lift because his shoulder was still recovering from that injury he had in high school.

Hurd is similar to Jamal Lewis in that neither of them really needed to do much off-field weight training to because they were such freaks of nature.

Who knows how big Hurd will end up by the 2017 NFL draft.
