This kid is going to be a beast for us up the middle.

That's not just weight. His whole body shape looks different and much more athletic.

Collins has been very high on this kid. I think the dline may surprise some thus season. We should at the very least be very athletic.

 

[UpperNorth]

This kid couldn’t fill out quick enough. We need him ASAP. I say kid, because he ain’t done yet and I can’t imagine what he’ll be in 2 or 3 more years.

 

[ScGold]

Dang!!

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

DYam!

 

[GCdaJuiceMan]

What a unit. Athletic is right. If I recall he was a basketball guy until his Jr/Sr year in high school. Can’t wait to see him flatten some RB’s/QB’s.

 

[smokey_wasp]

Was listed at 250 when we recruited him.

 

[ScGold]

I am cautiously optimistic. Hard seeing that transformation and not get giddy, but TJ Barnes and JC Lanier creep into my memory.

 

[Gtbowhunter90]

Coach said Mike was gonna be elite for us for many years.

 

[Techster]

Um, that's gotta be the most trim 300lbs I've seen. Good work, Mike!

 

[Milwaukee]

Um, that's gotta be the most trim 300lbs I've seen. Good work, Mike!

Thats what I was thinking. Hell at 268 he still looked 225ish.

 

[LargeFO]

I am cautiously optimistic. Hard seeing that transformation and not get giddy, but TJ Barnes and JC Lanier creep into my memory.

they were both like 330+. I see very little similarities between them and Lockhart.

He's a very intriguing player. Didn't start playing football until his Sr. year of HS. I hope he keeps the weight on. The way he looks at 302 suggests he could do another 10-20 pounds.

 

[MWBATL]

Um, that's gotta be the most trim 300lbs I've seen. Good work, Mike!

I look just like that!

Er, well, I weigh almost as much as he does, anyway. Is that close enough?

 

[MidtownJacket]

Woah. Talk about a kettlebell commercial.

Haha, seriously though I hope we see more of these start popping up. I did a few of the team workouts that CLC posts and they were brutal. If the guys kept up with them all we are going to have some stone cold killers report back.

I imagine not all programs will have had the same level of compliance. Obviously the elite programs have enough inherent competition to drive and push each position group, but outside of maybe the top three of the ACC I don’t think the rest of our conference will have been as locked in.

Time will tell if we gained a lot of ground but no way they got separation off us.

 

[CuseJacket]

The comparison that jumped in my mind last night was Francis Kallon from the perspective of potential. Limited football experience. Uber athletic.

TBD on Mike's future. Hopefully he and the coaches can harness his athleticism and teach him the game. Very easy for a raw athlete on the line to get out-leveraged if they do not learn to 1) use technique and 2) play with an edge.

He is listed as 282 lbs. at Ramblinwreck.com. Do you know for sure he is 300 now?

Wasn’t he the guy who went from unranked to nearly a 4-star seemingly overnight? With 5-star Clayton and some of the oguys, we might surprise some folks.

He's a very intriguing player. Didn't start playing football until his Sr. year of HS. I hope he keeps the weight on. The way he looks at 302 suggests he could do another 10-20 pounds.

Yea, IIRC, he went from invisible to almost a 4-star rating seemingly overnight.

He's gone from 250 pounds to 300 pounds since he left high school.
