Quote:Tight End Robby Wells III: "It (adding 30 pounds to his frame during a redshirt year) has given me a lot more confidence about my physical abilities especially when it comes to blocking or coming inside the trenches and taking on a linebacker....It's definitely a lot easier to move some of those bigger bodies around. Blaine Padgett is a huge guy and last year it was a struggle for me to block him..."
So has anyone looked at the roster lately? Lot's of surprises.
The following walk-ons are missing:
Arthur Bradshaw Saf
Taylor Knopf - Place Kicker
Ethan Marks - RB
Carter Tomsu - QB
Anthony Price - Place Kicker
The following have made some major weight gains:
Robbie Wells TE - 270 lbs (+30 lb gain)
Destri White Safety - 215 lbs (+10 lb gain)
Tyler Stehling QB - 225 lbs (+10 lb gain)
Jackson Tyner QB - 240 lbs (+10 lb); Tight End potentially?
JT Granato QB - 225 lbs (+10 lb gain)
Nashon Ellerbee WR - 205 lbs (+20 lb gain); Back to RB?
Quinton Riney TE - 260 lbs (+15 lb gain)
Trey Martin Center - 305 lbs (+15 lb gain)
Ty Carter Deepsnapper - 270 lbs (+25 lb gain)
Trevor Long WR - 230 lbs (+15 lb gain)
Elijah Garcia DT - 310 lbs (+25 lb gain) He was reported as 270 lbs when he signed his LOI in February.
By the way, no way I believe that Blaine Padgett is
only 250 lbs. He is huge.
