HS DT commits to UW

Gag's blog on the two commits today: http://wyomingcowboysblog.com/2011/12/11/uw-picks-up-commitment-from-sewell/
 
He actually seems to have decent strength, but he'll be needing to bulk up a bit overall. But he does have experience facing the triple option, so that will help against Air Force.
 
putting on pounds on an 18 year old who is already above 250 lbs is actually a pretty simple task.

I agree, if he can gain 15 pounds during his redshirt year he will be a decent size (most D1 D-tackles are in the 285 -310 range). No reason really to play him next year with Purcel, Durbin, Kurt T. Michel, and Mertens all coming back. We should actually be pretty deep at DT next year and all of those guys have good size. I am excited to see the possibility of Michel going back to DE and seeing a 270lb E. Yarbrough playing DE (Willis & Sonny P. look like good pass rush options since they are a bit light).
 
270 is a good size for a high school kid, if that's his weight which I do not think it is. If he is 270 right now, he's pretty much t he same size as our biggest DT except for Michel who is listed at 286. Good to see a few DL on this list.
 
According to the official two deep depth chart Purcell is 286lbs, Kurt T. is 279lbs, BJ is 296lbs, and Ben Durbin is 272lbs. Official roster lists Mertens as 280 as well (I believe he was heavier but lsot weight). It does get confusing because there are several rosters on the UW website, but one is unofficial and uses info from last year (i.e. was never updated).

Here are official rosters.

I watched the video he looks like he has a pretty quick step for that size looks like a solid player.

yeah. i was looking at rivals depth chart, so you are probably right. kid needs to put on weight either way, but he isn't a bad starting size. Better than being a starting college LB moved to DE then to DT.
