Oh my god, that dude plays basketball to? With that size I would say they would put him on the O-line and leave the d-line to the shorter, stockier guys. Anyone know his squat, powerclean, or bench?

I hope he plays both ways. IMHO I think he's a real assest on defense, he'll often occupy 2 guys. That automatically means you're playing 11 vs 10. I think that is wishful thinking on my part. The best I can hope for is that they'll use him in goal line situations. Offensively (which is where I'm sure St X will use him) I think he'll do well. The blocking techniques/requirements were different at X vs Russell. He struggled a little adapting to the Russell system last year. I don't think it will be as big a difference going from Russell to X since he learned at X first. We'll see.

As far as his lifting stats, I'm not sure but I think he powercleans 220, benches 240, I'm not sure of his squat. I'll ask him later today. He was timed in his 40 a few weeks ago, it was 5.6 and he had just twisted his ankle the day before playing basketball.

I know I'm his father and all but what makes him special (besides his physical ability) is his mental/leadership qualities. He understands the game, both basketball & football. I think he has a bigger mental upside in football over basketball. He really is interested in earning the respect of his team mates rather than resting on his laurels. That is very important for team chemistry. If he works, he'll be fine.:rockon:
