Official Bio

Stars
Strengths:
Rare size and amazing bulk...Extremely powerful...Has long arms and huge hands...Good strength...Gets a great push in the run game...Solid pass blocker and is stout at the point of attack...Once he locks on the defender is finished...Good awareness...Will play to the whistle and has a nasty demeanor...Nice intangibles...Might offer some versatility.

Weaknesses:
Isn't very quick or agile...Not a natural knee bender...Doesn't always play with proper leverage...Lacks great balance...Footwork leaves something to be desired...Limited mobility...Weight and conditioning are concerns...Struggles in space...Won't be an ideal fit for every team.

Notes:
Nickname is "The House"...The biggest player in Bayou Bengal history...Weighed 15 pounds, 14 ounces at birth and is listed as one of the biggest babies ever born in the state of Louisiana...Weighed more than 400 pounds when he arrived in Baton Rouge...Was a three-year starter...Played in two games as a true freshman but sat out the rest of the year while he recovered from an infected spider bite and was granted a medical redshirt...Could also be tried at right tackle...Best fit will come with a team that likes to pound the ball and he won't get a second look from teams that utilize a zone blocking scheme...An intriguing and freakish prospect who is exactly the type of guy the late George Young had in mind when he coined the "Planet Theory", which states that there are only a finite number of 300-pound men (or in this case 400-pound) on this  planet who can run and hit and play  football.
