I am just amazed at the size of the young players these days. We did not have anyone on the team approaching 300 lbs. Neither did most other college teams. If they did, they looked it. Fat with a beer belly. Dave Thompson was about 6-4 and weighed about 270 lbs was one of the biggest players on our team. He went on to play in the NFL as an OL. Wesley Kitchens was another big man but his knees gave out on him.
We did not have an organized weightlifting program. Under one of the Frat dorms there was an area with some weights that we would use on a voluntary basis. My Jr and Sr years under Hootie, we had a Universal Machine upstairs at Fike. We ate the same food as the rest of the student population.
D. Mayo as a rising SR in HS is 6-7 and weighs 250 lbs. Can you only imagine what he will look like after 2-3 years in college on a proper weightlifting program and nutritional program? We may lose Houston, but I do not see him being a more disruptive force on the DL than Mayo.
