Also looks like he's been hitting the conventional lifts quite a bit. Goes deep in his squats which breaking parallel can mean quite a bit more that just above parallel.

Not perfect form there, but pretty surprising hip flexibility for a big dude. What's his actual (not listed) weight?

Generally speaking, dudes in Iowa are very hard working guys in the weight room. It's a culture out there.
And Sawsey was a strength coach? A couple of guys I can understand but this many?
What was lacking before MR and Fielder was a weight room culture down here.

Does this mean he can block?
If you can marry athleticism like this with technique maybe we can run the ball against FSU and out the put game away
Ding, ding ding !! You beat me to it. That's the 64K question.
Show me some videos of him blocking some speedy d linemen coming off the edge and I'll really be impressed.
Exactly I don't care about his cross fit Ability.

Strong shoulders!! Balance and control of his strength in both arms. Translates straight to the field.
core strength. It's involved in everything.
More interested in foot work

If this was a South Florida recruit doing this **** he'd be everyone's new favorite guy.
Truth.
My this-white-dude-from-Iowa thought is: strong core ain't a bad thing, like that he seems dedicated to picking things up and then slamming them down. Think he'll be a player for us in a year or two.
I was thinking balance and strength is always a great thing for football players to have. Body control is HUGE. People get all worked up about 40 times for WRs, but straight, inline speed without pads doesn't tell you if they can catch a ball, and yet they want to knock this guy?
