This late-night commitment kind of caught everyone off guard, as far as I can tell. Sounds like he is a center who might double as a long snapper. Wasn't highly recruited, but fills a need.

What other surprises may be in store?

Indications that he is a PWO... does anyone know for sure?

He says on Twitter he will be "signing" with Vandy on Wednesday, which generally means a letter-of-intent, which implies a scholarship offer.

If you look him up on 247, it looks like he's a PWO. It doesn't indicate that we offered him a scholarship. I'm guessing he's "committing/signing" to a guaranteed spot on the team from the coaches.

Let's hope it is a PWO. Undersized centers usually don't command a Power 5 scholarship.

Unless they are a top-notch long snapper. Check out this trend...

Had to laugh at the post. Thinking of 6'2" 260 as being undersized given the most I have weighed in my entire life, beginning about age 50, is 180. :lol:

Congrats OldDude for staying slim, unless you're 4'6". 6'2" 260 is big in your kitchen but gets pretty small pushing against 6'6" 320 all day.
