Mavric Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 245 lbs. is not a lot of weight on a 6-8 frame but I'll still take a 6-8 TE. Not sure how he'd work at DE. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Top 3: Iowa, Norte Dame, Stanford Must be fairly smart ... except for the Iowa part. Quote Link to comment

BartonHusker Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nelson is more college ready now but he reminds me of the kid K-State just got to walk-on from SW Kansas (Meade) in Randy Friesen. The Friesen kid was 6'8", 230-pound DE that just swallowed one whole side of the field. Normally kids that tall end up TE's or OT's but occasionally you will see a man mountain DE succeed. Normally you worry about leverage with kids that tall. Quote Link to comment
