Probably, he played quite a bit of defense as a freshman. He's an outside tackle right now. He does hit hard, though, and they use lot's of screen plays that need some more nimble linemen to chase down linebackers. Our QBs are short...A 145# lineman? Shouldn't he be playing corner or wide out?
He'll probably get moved back to defense next year. It's kind of a remnant from middle school, when he was one of the tallest kids so they put him on the line. Like I said, I'm glad they wear pads...
