cheekygeek Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) His hometown paper listed him as 6' 2" and 250 lbs last Sept. 22nd. He could still be growing, but that would be quite a spurt in 4 months. Source: http://katytimes.com/sports/article_af882a8a-9f58-11e7-8ba1-ff33f316308f.html Interestingly, Otito's 68'-6" shot put throw (1st at this meet) is better than Ndamukong Suh's Portland high school record throw of 61'-4".

I have not seen any better indicator of short area burst than the shot. Kind of like lineman that are stud wrestlers or WR that are 200m studs any DE or LB the throws 60+ is just someone you have to get for pure athleticism. Otito and Cam absolutely check that box for me. It was a shame Cam's technique hasn't improved all that much since then. With his leg injury I doubt we will really get to see if this season would have been much better. Quote Link to comment

With our current depth you are probably right. Would not surprise me in the least if his name would come up often in the "who has impressed you on the scout team" conversations if he did redshirt. Really hope he comes here. Quote Link to comment

Technique can play a huge part but ultimately it's two yards to do something as violently as possible. Sound familiar? There really isn't a weight room number that involves maximum effort while traveling. The shot put does that nicely. That's why I am a fan. Quote Link to comment
