Anyone know why he transferred, move back home? wasn't as good as advertised? just because he is big, doesn't mean he can play… maybe we can have Sandra Bullock come in for a pep talk…

In the The Blind Side, they made Mike Orr look like a giant, and he was only 6'3" 313…. this guy is a GIANT!

Glad to have him as an owl!

Word is he hurt his foot and came home for a year long rehab, started taking classes at FAU while doing rehab… Liked the school so much he told minnesota he wasnt coming back =)

Maybe it's an NCAA violation, I'm not really sure of the rules, but why didn't someone approach this kid last season? I know he was hurt but use the medical red shirt on him

I had the same question. Also I'm happy that he didn't return to Miami and attend FIU or they'd have him.

I am almost positive this kid transferred to FAU before CP got here (last year).

And how about being a nose tackle on D if being on the OL doesn't work out? He could really plug up the middle!

At 6'8", it would be hard to imagine him being able to get low enough to be playing DT consistently.  That is a big fella, it will be interesting to see how agile he is.

Word on the street is he can move.

We also have that kid Chris Chapelle who I believe is also about 6'8". Maybe CP can get the most out of him or he can learn under the new regime because if not, then there's an opening for C on the BBall team lol

Yeah, that guy is ENORMOUS. I keep wondering why he wasnt on the Oline, but there must of been a reason. Either he wasnt able to picup assignments or whatever. If he can get motivated along with Ragoo that would be a SOLID wall.

And these guys are why we are recruiting 5'7" and 5'8" RB's, the D will never see them until they are by!

I played MLB in High School and I can tell you a short RB behind a tall O-line sucks… Play action was always harder to see with a small RB
