I was thinking he might follow a similar path as Camaron Beard.

That's whatbive been saying all along...he's too food on the defensive side of the ball already to move to OL, that doesn't quite make sense unless all of those TE's from last years class are already getting moved to the DL. He has a team to build on and 290 or so wouldn't be out of the question once he gets on campus and into a collegiate training regimen. He definitely seems like a Cam Beard mold to me, DE coming in and DT withing a year, only his numbers already show that the kids stronger than Cam.

Cam Beard is a good comparison. Except that I've always believed Beard was better suited to play SSDE than DT, at least so far in his career. I think Stout has a bigger frame/more strength than Beard did at the same stage in their career so Stout may be able to eventually play DT and do so at a high level.
