true, but having a 6' QB in college is not as big a deal as in the NFL.
That also assumes he's actually 6'. Ron Brooks was listed at 6' out of high school and measured 5'10" at the combine. Mo Claiborne was listed at 6' out of high school and measured 5'11" at the combine. 6' seems a lot taller than 5'11", would not surprise me at all if Kincade's height is slightly exaggerated.

There's also the build issue. He's listed at 175 lbs, but doesn't have broad shoulders or a thick lower body that suggests a frame to put on much weight. Assuming he would do a decent bit of running if he played QB for us, he's gonna take a pretty bad beating at that size.

Again, I like Kincade as a fallback option later in the recruiting cycle, but still I have major questions about his size.

I know this is probably inaccurate but 247 has him at 6'2"and Rivals has him at 6'0". To me, height isn't as important as is his mechanics which makes him play taller than his height. Drew Brees is 6'0" but he plays taller due to his mechanics and arm release. In order to be successful, smaller quarterbacks are forced to have great mechanics and arm release
