Football Analytics

Your assertion that kids cannot get to 300lbs in HS and play very good football is not correct. Some can and do, with fairly low body fat and have strength that probably do not understand; but most 300lb kids in HS are just overweight and not the type of kids DI schools are interested in, so there is a lot of validity in why you espouse as a general statement. But some of the big schools have many 300 pounders, especially those schools that bring in kids from all over, and they have very big, very talented O Lines. Last year, all of the kids on IMG and STA O-Lines were over 300lbs. They all had good feet and could move; which is why were recruited by Power 5 schools. There is a big difference in having one or two legitimate big kids and having 20-25 Bigs as do IMG and STA have on their rosters, and this year they have just as many on each of those squads. It's just that some kids are big, can move their feet and are strong, with some benching 450lbs+, squat 600lbs+, and power clean over 350lbs+. So, though I am for a tough 200 pounder playing with a lot of heart, they too will get pushed around when they play against the better teams.
