It’s not listed, but I’m proud to say I’m up 11 lbs!

New Spring roster is available on the OSU Football site. DJU listed as 6'04" 251 lbs and is #5. Fenwick is #1 Somewhat unusual that the Qb is bigger (heavier) than our bruiser Rb! Yikes! Still debating whether that’s good or bad.

Still debating whether that’s good or bad. not that weird. NFL caliber guys are 6'2-6'6 at QB. RB are rarely bigger than 6'2. That extra height leads to big boys. That said 251 lbs is next level, Flacco is 245 and he's the heaviest active QB. Getting to Jamarcus Russel/Tebow weight class.

Of course it’s common for qb’s to be taller now. Even back in the day, Steve Grogan’s neck was taller than some rb, like Mike Adamle for example!

DJU's playing weight last season was 235. And he had deliberately lost weight, supposedly on the advice of trainers, to improve his agility and mobility. I believe his HS playing weight had been closer to 250. So, don't know whether this new weight is to be temporary, or whether he's changed his mind about his ideal playing weight.

Makes sense when they had him running for his life every down. In a pro system he is better off being stronger so he can resist any pocket pressure and break out of arm tackles when scrambling is available. Our system doesn't need him to run 50 yards to the house. It needs him to avoid a sack to buy time or scramble to make the next down more managable.

Still debating whether that’s good or bad. Derek Anderson towered over all his RBs, as did Matt Moore over Yvenson Bernard, and Sean Mannion over everybody.

DA was as tall or taller than his OL and TEs for the most part, I’m not sure if any had a inch on him. He also was pretty beefy, looked like he fit in with the TEs.

I’m surprised that several people here think I’ve never seen a tall qb. Even after the Steve Grogan neck reference! I won’t post anything about receivers dimensions for fear of Eagle fans bombarding me with Harold Carmichael posts!
