Checked it to see what size we'll have on the O-line, D-line, and at LB. Johnathan McLaughlin is a beast at 6'5'' 310. The guards (Teller and Conte) are 6'6'' 295/297 respectively. Even my redheaded friend Wade Hansen is up to 300 pounds. Eric Gallo rounds it out at 6'2'' 293. That's alot of tonnage. I hope that's a good indicator that we're committed to pounding the rock.
We're thin at DE as you know. But I will say Dadi Nicolas and Ken Ekanem have gotten bigger and meaner. Melvin Keihn is 6'1'' 211 and he's one of our backup DE's. Yosuah Nijman is 6'7'' 265 and he is a monster. Our DT size and depth is just ridiculous. And that's without Tim Settle on campus yet. Our starting LB's are 219(Vandyke),213(Clarke),and 223(Motuapuaka). The big surprise is Carson Lydon at 6'2'' 241. I was hoping our starting LB's would be a bit beefier. The head scratcher is Holland Fisher. He's the backup WHIP and he's listed at 6'1'' 180 pounds. Are they starving him?
