Apparently Akana weighed 199 at check-in. 5 meals a day for this kid moving forward once he’s on campus.

No problem. That’s about where I came in to UT as a freshman. A couple years of keg beer, Grandy’s chicken fried steak platters, and Mr. Gatti’s pizza buffets and he’ll be 240 lbs easy by year 3.

Replace Grandy's with GM Steakhouse/Players and you just described me.  Scary.

Akana is lighter than Lander Barton who was pretty good as a freshmen but that 6'4 height at off ball position could be very good especially if he has nice feet and can be good in coverages.

Seeing that Kirkland measured in at 6'6 370 lbs.

Got Damn.  That is a big human.  Probably a little too big.

I'd imagine they'd want him in the 350-360 range which they will likely get him to once on campus.

[Herbie Hancock 7,345]

Put me in the camp of IDGAF about the weight of someone that shouldn’t be graduating high school for another six months . Let’s revisit this conversation 12 months from now when they’ve had time in a real S&C program and had nutritional guidance from someone knows what they’re doing.

Yeah, losing 20ish pounds at that size should be relatively trivial, especially with professional guidance… as long as there’s any internal motivation at all.

Barton is an off the ball guy all the way, and will play there in the NFL. Akana is an edge rusher who needs to gain weight 

It might be worth noting that Akana is the oldest player in our class by four months

Apparently, I gave the weight I lost to my ex, so there seems to be precedent. Not sure how the physics works, though.

Not everybody has the expertise of a high school three-year starter at safety who attained second-team All-District as a senior. It's why I come to Surly.

It's even crazier considering they sold him on the Jack position instead of the Buck. He's likely more of a situational pass rusher if he can put on 30 lbs or so. I'm just happy he actually measured 6'4

Uhhhh... Looks like we're getting conflicting reports on what Akana's weight is at the Army All-American Bowl, becuz Football Brainiacs is saying Akana weighted in at 220 LBs.

He’ll be 225 in next season’s game program.

Look at his photos.  He’s 2 inches taller than me but I’m at 230 with a super duty spare tire.  No way he’s 220.

It was already heading that way (for athletes, not just football) when I lived there in 09-10. Clint Chapman was passed out in an elevator on a Sunday morning when I went to do laundry.
