Weighing in at 308-309 right now and says he's working to lose a little weight. Said coaches haven't talked to him about playing anywhere other than DT and that's where he wants to play but would play SDE if called upon.

Seems like he has bulked up quick since many on here said he was around 270.

He will def get burn with as much as Manny likes to rotate but starting? He has a lot of age and experience in front of him and was not here for spring. it is a tall task

Couldn't read the full article, but personally I'd like to see Taylor at 275-280 to start. Keep him at DE where we need the most help right now and slide him inside on 3rd and long a la Rousseau. Get him 10 meaningful snaps/game and increase that as his conditioning improves. Then let him bulk up the right way over the course of a full S&C program year and plug him in for Nesta in 22.

Moreso that I think he starts by years end.

He was never playing DE despite what the idiots said

And I like the fact that he seems to acknowledge he has some bad weight he needs to shed. Feely should be able to re-make this kid into a beast.

WAS NOT EXPECTING HIM TO WEIGH OVER 300 POUNDS!! haha!!

Definitely will be in the 2-deep, now.

They 100 % talked to him about de , it was months ago but they did. I also don’t believe he’s 308.

I know you have said repeatedly he's closer to 270, he was the one who said 308.

Look, he's not at the Gaytors' preferred weight for DTs, which is 450 pounds, so he needed to go on the @Paranos weight plan.

He might be in the 285-290 range now , months ago he wasn’t. If he’s 308 he’s on the Al Golden plan. I take it with a grain of salt when it comes to weight , 40 times , or pretty much anything a kid says in an interview.

But they did talk to him about possibly playing de as a Fr. That was before he got “ 308”.

I hope he can get into school in May to give him an extra month or more to work with Feeley. Just really need to find a way to get him on the field when he's ready.

50/50 chance he plays DE........

 

[CANEMC]

He'll drop some weight during camp. Expect him at 290-295 come Tide time.

Summer A , everything should be good.

He spoke as if it was still a possibility that he might not make it in until late June.

I was told summer A but that was after he didn’t get in early. Maybe things changed.
