On 247 it shows him as 6'3" 338lbs: LINK

But on Rivals it shows him being 6'3" 286lbs : LINK

I get sites are like 10lbs off of each other sometimes, but 50+ pounds is a pretty big difference. Anyone know how big he really is?

6'3 286 must be right because there's an article on here with those same measurements

here it is LINK

I always thought the 330 number was accurate because if you watch his film, the kid looks like a grown man amongst those boys. He's a monster out on that line.

that's just going off Rivals

I think it's fair to say he's over 300 lbs

But in pictures I've seen of him he looks way bigger than everyone around him. Based off pictures, I'd say 320 minimum.

The guy just LOOKS huge. Tall with a big body. My first thought was over 300 but once I read that article I figured he could probably pass for under 300. Whatever his actual size is, it'll be a good get for whoever gets him.

He sure looked a lot bigger than 285 in the AA Game.

How am I supposed to know "exactly"?

That 286 has to be junior year numbers (or earlier). He hasn't gotten a lot taller, but he is definitely NG width at this point. Perhaps not 338, but definitely in the 315 to 325 range at the Army AA game - and moves fairly well at that size - not ready to say he's a straight 3-technique guy yet, but definitely a mobile, athletic (obviously for a) 1-technique guy you could anchor a line off of - and has the potential to get stronger and develop better technique.

Also, he's just in high school. He has the potential to grow a lot bigger!!! Dude's gonna be a force on the line! Damn I hope we get him.

In the all-star practices and recent pictures of him, there is no way he is under 300 lbs.

No way he is under 300... He's probably around 310-320 if I had to guess. He'll have to cut down some body fat and work on his quickness which Moffit will do. Gonna be a monster and hopefully for LSU

First one is probably more accurate. The dude looks fricking huge especially on film.

The 6'3'' 338lbs listed on 247 is correct because those were his measurements that were taken by the 247 staff when he arrived for check-in for the Army All-American Game.

You don't get stretch marks on your belly at 280

This.

If he can get down to 310-315 he will be a beast.

In an interview on Jan. 16th, Travonte said he is 6'4" 338.

See my "breakfast at Les's" thread? This guy is not going to 'get down to' 310 by eating two omelets and ordering 3 Belgian waffles...
