Per the media guide (reader's digest version):
OUTLOOK - TL expected to battle for starting job...physically impressive with good size and excellent feet... made significant improvements during spring.
2008 (REDSHIRT) - received medical redshirt for injury that cost him his season...
HIGH SCHOOL, ETC. - rated five star by Scouts, Parade All-American, ESPN Top 150 (33), ranked number 6 nationally for offensive linemen by Scouts
He is listed at 6-6, 303.
I wouldn't write him off just yet. I think he will crack the starting line-up perhaps even this year.
