LINK He was listed as 240 last year. I am hoping he worked out in the weight room and not at the dinner table. Anyone know for sure? If he is a solid 270, I could see him stepping in and getting a lot PT next year as an every down DE
I doubt he's 270. I played against him for 4 years in HS. He was highly touted, but I really don't think he was that great. Tall, but not big.
I played against Sean Merril, and he wasn't all that impressive, and he was actually a lot bigger then. But coaches recruit for POTENTIAL, they see things the untrained eye doesn't. I also played against Stephen Peterman who was a slow 260 lb. tight end. I thought LSU was crazy for signing him......Well, look what happened to him, after that, i realized that these coaches know what they are doing.
If coaches recruited purely on how their stats were in high school, college football would be a different place. When I was in High School, we had a running back that was so dominating and he definitely had the body mold of a great ncaa running back. But he didn't even sign with any 1-A school, he went to Northwestern and it wasn't because of grades.
Tim Washington is up to 270, it was announced at the Bash as his sign was incorrect with his weight from the pass year....gotten bigger!
