I've got a nephew who has just finished up the 9th grade. He played center at South Walton up in Destin, and his family is moving to Tallahassee to enroll him at North Florida Christian. Their thinking is that this will give him an opportunity to pursue football at a higher level while still going to a good high school. Makes sense to me.
Anyway, right now the kid is 5' 11", 230lbs. He broke his ankle last year (everything healed fine) and the doc said his growth plates showed he had 3-5" worth of growth remaining. So he could top out at 6'2" to maybe 6'4". My brother is thinking that he can get him up to about 280 by the time he's a senior.
So what do you guys think? Is 6'3" 280 big enough to play center at a school like Miami?
I did tell my brother about the Golden camps and encouraged him to take him down to one next summer, after he's spent a year at NFC and in the weight room.
