Josh Mcneil

In the KNS today there was an article about him. He said he has bulked up to 292 lbs. and has had a growth spurt and is now around 6-5. Coach Stephens told him that he needs to be ready to play when he gets to UT in the summer. He said he will still have to work on his bench press which is around 365 lbs. right now.

Well I hope he will be ready to play early now the Gandy is hurt.

By bench press is around 270-280 pounds. Of course I'm only 6'0 210.

I read the UT's linemen usually bench press 450 pounds and up. So McNeil really isn't up to snuff there. However, he can squat 535. He is going to be a great center for us the next few years. Exciting stuff going on! :good:

Isn't 6'5" a little tall for a center? Usually the tall guys are outside at tackle. :dunno:

 

[TBALLVOL]

Yeah, Well that settles it! Ainge will be your starting QB because as short as Shaffer is, McNeil will he hiking the ball into his ear. LOL.

Yeah, 365lbs. isn't exactly up to snuff with SEC lines. Once he gets here this summer, he should put on some nice early weigh and gain some solid core strength. We're going to need him with Gandy going down.

Mark my words, Josh McNeil will be U.T.'s next great offensive lineman along with Chris Scott!!!!!!! :rocks:

 

[TNFanBornandRaised]

Rivals.com does a great job with their databases of listing that stuff if provided by coaches/prospects.
