Second commit

That is a huge kid. Shyatt might want him to play two sports.

He's got some lifting to do. 260 lbs is lite for someone 6'0", let alone 6'9". But he's got the frame or Bohl to do his sculpting.

Sweet, a 6'9 runningback...
Wait, he's a linemen? Dude needs about 40 more pounds.
He's lite, but Bohl has a solid history with these types. The kid has the frame to be a monster.
 
obviously this kid will play tackle. its amazing to me that we are going after a kid with this high of a center of gravity. just a projection here, but if he wants to start and play in this offense, he needs to get to 310 at that height, and keep his footwork solid in the process.

on the flip hand, long tackles like this possess a great wing span, and can protect against players like jj watt. however, a quarterback trying to view the field has to look over a giant like this.

he must be able to back peddle and shut down a rush.

Im betting that he probably played some basketball and has excellent feet.

At 6-9, he has 3 inches on UW’s current tallest player, 6-6 sophomore tight end Brandon Preston. And he had taken an unofficial visit to NCAA Division II school Minot State University — for basketball.

“Right away, he was about 50-50, basketball and football,” Fluhrer said.

By ramping up its recruiting efforts with Weeks, Wyoming helped keep him from strongly considering the hardwood. Once the Cowboys made an offer during his unofficial visit to Laramie on June 5, he set his mind on football.

“I figured that I would probably have more of an impact in football than I would in basketball,” he said. “... I think the best I could do is Division II. And why go Division II when I can go Division I in football and try to further my career and get to the big leagues?”

Weeks expects to redshirt in 2016 in order to add size to his frame. Wyoming’s staff would like to see him around 340 pounds, he said.

He is still going to camp at NDSU (rumor is....) but it was smart of coach bohl to put the heat on him and say here's a fbs offer, it might not be there in a few weeks.
