He looks huge.

As the page was loading, I was sitting here going, " He must be a monster."

6'-7", 310? Even if he can't pass block, it will take 4.5 seconds to get around him.

Living in Vienna a few decades ago, I bought a shirt with the quirky logo below. Never wore the shirt much, but smile whenever intended and unintended confusion occurs. Aussie Aussie Aussie Oy Oy Oy /s

Please tell me this is the first image to pop in your mind when you saw this young man's first name.

I shall refer to him as "The Hammer" from here on out.

Reports from Boulder indicate he won a letter as a second-teamer redshirt freshman RT. In the spring he was also running with the second unit during, but was seen as a potential candidate for first team minutes down the line as the positions got juggled due to depth problems. I was hoping for a grad or senior transfer with this type of ability, but this is much better as he could be a major player on the line for up to 4 years.

That's great to hear. If those reports are accurate this is a major addition to the 21 class. Quality depth with 4 years remaining, Awesome!
