Fat guys that have little athleticism and average feet can't play on the edge. It's much easier to come in at 270 or 280, and put on weight the right way. Kids that are 320lbs. to 340lbs. usually have to lose weight and work on conditioning.
A 6'6" OT playing for the NY Jets was ~265-270 out of Neville.
Yes, it’s a good matrix, but the rules have changed. Let’s project a little here
First year red shirt
Second year limited play
Year 3 starting or significant backup
Year 4 all conference and possibly transfer portal with one or two best years available.
We’d better figure out how to increase our NIL revenue to many players.
Still it’s the only model that works for non P5 schools for the most part.
I think everyone is over estimate this portal and nil stuff might lose one or two at most. No way all the current people in the portal will find homes.
