I love when the rosters come out.

Amazing how guys "shrink" (usually about an inch) when they get measured at the combine.

A least most do.

Damn, we get around the goal line, put in the big receivers for the jump balls.

Stephen Sullivan WR 6-7 232
Dee Anderson WR 6-6 229
Drake Davis WR 6-4 220
Terrace Marshall WR 6-4 209
Racey McMath WR 6-3 221

I think Sullivan and Davis are going to have big years.


You can add in Foster Moreau here at 6'6. Imagine if we didn't lose Pettigrew at 6'7 241. Shame because I think he was poised for a big year.

I dont think this can be understated enough. Ensminger wanted us to go double TE with 1 back a lot and now he lost his in-line TE behind Moreau. Moss is a flex TE at 6'3 225.

Washington is still around, but the dude has just never done anything really. He's got the body and frame to be the 2nd in-line TE with Moreau, it's now or never for him.

I’m hoping that’s a misprint for Justin Thomas. Hopefully he is 286 and not 268. Also, I noticed Davin Cotton was listed at 6’4 279 and was 6’1 262 coming out of high school. I highly doubt he grew 3 inches over the summer but I could be wrong.

Muscle weighs more than fat.

Some players may be making the transition.

Man, I want Narcisse to be the guy so bad. 6'3 240lbs and jacked is absolutely ridiculous.

I'm right there with you! His upside is thru the roof. Those knees just scare the crap out of me!

Yep, the heights are almost always 1"-1.5" off. Sometimes as much as 2.

The weights are usually pretty close. Within 5-8 lbs

OL Adrian Magee +12 [323 -> 335]...wrong direction for Magee if at RT


Coaches might have told him to put on weight in order to play guard or center

He really needs to just redshirt this year and put some weight on. Crazy how Jontre weighs the same as him.

A bunch of players "Grew an inch"


I grew almost 2 inches from the end of high school to the end of my freshman year in college.

There are juniors on that list that went up an inch.

For instance Sullivan who is now 6'7? I mean come on, if he measures over 6'5 at the combine/pro day I will be shocked.

I want to see the Tebow freshman year package in goal line and short yardage for Narcisse.

Common misconception, muscle is more dense than fat but does not weigh more than fat. A pound of fat and a pound of muscle weigh the same

Sullivan could be a TE. 6’7 230 he is bigger than Thaddeus Moss. This kid is Megatron.

Im sure the coaches and training staff have major input in where players weight should be at. It's not like any of know what's going on so saying this is to much weight or that is to little weight is strictly someone's opinion
