I was down in the student section on the west side yesterday and finally had a chance to see just how big Alex Taylor is. He was towering over everyone on the sideline.

Why is he not seeing any playing time? 6-9 305 lbs.

Because beau Nunn and victor Johnson are our starting tackles? That's probably why

This and he need another year of coaching. He was raw when we brought him in. Only played 2 years in HS. Was a basketball player for most of the time. I've said it several times on here so far this year but word is he had improved a lot since we got him here and with Clark coaching him now we'll see how much more he improves in the next year. Should make a good OT for us once he gets it together.

Looks like he could play defense on field goal attempts with that height. He might be slow or can't jump much with his mass, but it would be interesting to see him play a snap or two. He is not on the 2-deep and is a RS Freshman, but again, that size might be worth something for a play or two each game.

Could we use him on the basketball team? I would think with that height he could in the top-20 on our roster, or are we shrinking the team numbers a bit this year? :-)

Yes, let him play bball and have to drop to 260 to be effective and wipe out the hard work he's put in to be a D1 OL
