RE has a history of taking undersized lineman and making them really good. We have had this discussion ad infinitum on this board. If he is athletic and has good hip turn, RE will work with him. If the kid puts in the effort on his end, it will work out well.
Kendall Reyes comes to mind. 6'3" and 210 pounds in high school. Played wide receiver and linebacker until his senior year when he became a defensive end. At UConn he grew to 6'4" and 299 pounds. Hard to imagine how good our staff was at evaluating talent and potential. Let's hope it continues with Remon Yound and the rest of the past two recruiting classes.
