1. And he list LSU as a school he is interested in. Are y'all actually looking at him?

    Visiting my folks this weekend and saw this on the news in Wichita Falls, TX. He did 780 this weekend with an injury. The kid is from a town just on the TX\OK border. He looks to have the mental makeup to be great.

    Plays NG and OG

    Texas high school junior Lorenzo Barnes (shw) squatted 800 pounds on Saturday at the THSPA Coyote Invitational in Wichita Falls, Texas. Barnes, who competes for Burkburnet High School, added a 450 pound bench press and 550 pound deadlift to total 1,800 pounds. The USAPL Teen 16-17 American Record squat of 804 pounds was set in 1990 by Jason Wisner.
    Here is video of Barnes' 800 lb. squat:

    I wonder how long his knees will last. It didn't look like he strained at all getting it up though. Impressive.

  4. Re: TX HS Jr Squats 800 Lbs

    He made that look remarkably easy
  5. Re: TX HS Jr Squats 800 Lbs

    Jesus Christ. If he can actually play then you know he is a monster
  6. Re: TX HS Jr Squats 800 Lbs

    Words almost don't do it justice. That kid is way strong.
  7. Re: TX HS Jr Squats 800 Lbs

    I'm thinkin' his 40 time is in the low 9s...

    Impressive power, though.

    Was reading an article last night that described him chasing someone down in the backfield. I have no idea of what type a player he is, but I will have to ask a couple of my friends from Burk.

    That guy is unbelievably strong! And as a nose guard, how would you move him? This guy deserves a closer look, imho.:geaux:

    Not that impressive, I'm sure half the memebers here can squat 800 lbs ;)
