His name is Will Lawrence from Tennessee 8th grader starting on his teams Varsity squad at LT. He hasn't allowed a sack in 3 games and is 6'3" 250LB. He's already getting interest from D1 schools. Whats y'alls opinion of him? Should we keep an eye out for him?

He just started lifting weights this spring and is already benching 220 and squating 300+ dude is going to be a monster. He would probably finish out at around 6'6" 315 and that's being pretty modest. Size isn't everything, but he looks like he already has decent technique for an 8th grader of course.

So does this mean he doesn't get to play as a senior? I thought players only get 4 years of varsity football? Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Footwork, footwork, footwork. Size doesn't mean anything. Plenty of kids are big.

Ok. I guess keep an eye out but this kid doesn't matter for 3 years at least.


I was worried about this when we got Moses. Dylan is a freak athlete and a great kid. He is an absolute take but you can't project what will happen with this 6'3" 250lb kid. shite he might be done growing. The thing people don't realize is that even if Moses was done growing he'd still be a 5*.

Pretty sure that's not the case. Tons of kids play varsity as a 8th grader. Even one of LSU's commits started as a 8th grader.
