In the OP from 18 months ago, he was listed at 6 ft 2 and 270 lbs. Now 6 2 and 272. Is that his current size? I would have expected a 16 year old to grow some.

^ Kind of an weird tangent, but Butch's recruiting style reminds me of a young Mack Brown at Texas. Very formidable recruiter early in his career, made a lot of strong high school connections and mended the division in the fanbase/team/athletic dept very early in the process. They both also finish classes early and as I recall, Texas would almost always be #1 - #3 when the Rivals Team Rankings debuted. Also anyone remember when Mack Brown was on the ropes after the 5-7 season, signed that top 5 class in 2011 and then started the whole "brick by brick" campaign at Texas? Yeah true story. Am I crazy or are there similarities between the two?

I know Crazy. Crazy is a good friend of mine. You, sir, are no Crazy.

Ben is am NPA kid with lots of potential. Plays very high at times but when he wants to mk it happen ot happens. He works with both the OL/DL groups and can be dominant on both sodes of the ball. We're constantly working on hand placement and interior moves. We've brouht in Reggie Grimes who played at Bama and NE Pats in the NFL along with Titans DL coach Nick Eason to help Ben more as the both played DT. This kid will continue to blow up. NPA will have several guys in for the O/W gm

Thanks for the info

Has size and talent to be SEC but has to work on consistency and not just when you want to. Kid has been 1 of biggest kids with athleticism and footwork since he 1st walked onto the field at his initial NPA try out.

Honestly I have had Rutger at camp and I was impressed, but there's a difference between him and Ben. I just think when Ben clicks on there's nobody that can out play him in TN at the DT position. The thing is the "when". Strip loves Ben and his upside plus what he sees on field now. In camp settings Ben excells and is absolutely dominant. If you're in Knoxville/ Alcoa this wknd come out and see it for yourself.

GFW just think in 1 on 1s Jacoby vs T. Higgins, TJ vs Amari Rogers etc man this is going to be fun. The kids from TN Gridiron Sports and NPA are excited because a WWE/ boxing style real championship belt is on the line for each position specific MVP.

You wouldn't by chance be one of the guys that calls Swain on a regular basis discussing camps and your work with highschool kids/prospects? If so, always enjoy your calls/info/opinions when you do.
