you can't have too many o linemen as far as I'm concerned.

Wouldn't he be the tallest player in OU history? If we get Cook, that would have OUr future tackles at 6'9 320, and 6'7 310! That's not counting Dismukes who is a big dude as well!

He was interviewed tonight on the local news and said that he wasn't concerned about the shake up of the big twelve. He said that no matter where OU plays, they will hold their own. He chose the Sooners over Wisconsin and Iowa, I thought it was funny that even on the rivals picture of him from the link up above he had a Badgers shirt on. Sounds like he is committed no matter what happens to the conference shake ups.

Well, I guess one thing is for sure.... You can't teach size!

Is his bench max really only 300??? You'd think a big kid like that would be able to put up more than that. Squat max of only 405?

I hope those numbers are wrong and I know Schmiddy will improve those numbers, but they just seem awfully low to me.

If he's 6'9 and squatting a legit 405, that's pretty impressive.

FWIW Adrian Peterson can squat 530.

FWIW Adrian Peterson is 8 inches shorter and much older.

AD may also be the most physically gifted guy in the business, as well.

This OL is, literally, just off the farm. He looks like one of those guys that Nebraska used to get. I fully expect him to redshirt, and he would be enrolled in Schmitty 101 during that time.

I can just imagine a line like this over the next few years:

LT: Farniok- 6'9, 320
LG: Irwin- 6'5", 320
C: Woods- 6'5", 295
RG: Shead- 6'4", 320
RT: Dismukes- 6'6", 295 (probably bigger by the time he starts)


This is not to mention if we get Bray, and other guys we have on campus like Alandoye, Evans (who I guarantee is bigger than 280, maybe closer to 300), and Thompson. We are going to have some big-ol'-dudes here.

Good thing Blake Bell is 6'6. Can you imagine booger boy trying to see his receivers behind that line?
