If he's mobile enough, he's a perfect size for a 3 / 4 DE. A little light for a DT in the SEC.

That bench max is a little low for that big of a guy don't yah think?

268lber benching 305 lbs light? Not too bad for an 18 year old in my opinion. Definitely could use some S&C time but good potential.

In Phillips's thread, HialeahGator said he looks closer to 300 lbs.

To be honest, when I first saw 6'6 268 I thought of Cam Clear.

That is deceptive...he is 6'6.....all 300lbs benches are not created equal. A 6'2 guy has to go a lot shorter distance to go then a 6'6 guy. That 4 inches in height is a LOOOOONG ways when you factor in wing span. But I would expect somewhere in the 350 range for a DT sitting at 270, however he can add 50-100lbs to that bench easy with a solid year under a S&C program.

JMO...

Also, I think his max squat was in the 470 range, which is pretty damn good for a 6'6 18 year old.

If he comes here don't expect much his first year might even be red-shirted...gotta learn a new defense & wasn't here in the Summer learning it with the new guys...with that said I hope he still comes to UT

ESPN has him as a OL recruit

Dude might want to hurry up on that decision. Before fall camp at least.
