Well I just think that depending on how fast he is, that his speed as a TE with his size lining up against guys like LB's and S's he would present mismatches if he could throw on 30 lbs and become a good blocker as well.

That is far from being a secondary priority...

I had Stoneburner tabbed at TE before, but after seeing his video, I see him staying at WR. He is really quick for being as big as he is and he looks like a natural WR...not saying he couldn't end up at TE, but he looks like a WR to me on film.

He can be deadly as a WR without the weight or the burden of being on the line.

You love to switch a position though :)

I just think that it is usually easier for these guys to add weight.

I have no problem with him staying at WR if he doesnt lose his top end speed when he comes to college and adds weight...

Honestly I would love for him to be a flex type TE where they split him out sometimes and sometimes let him play with his hand down...

I just like versatility...:biggrin:

Why assume he will add so much weight? That is just a broad assumption that I'm not ready to make...S&C programs can and are individualized for specific results. If he needs weight via mass, he will gain it...if he only needs muscle mass, he will get that.

Huge difference.

Jake is a big kid. He wants to stay at WR and is VERY good at it, but his frame is big. Most of his weight now is in the lower body and as he starts lifting hard it may be difficult to keep weight off. He will blossom no matter where he plays , but I think nature may determine a lot of that.

Known him since he was 7. Trey's best buddy and you can just see the amount of weight that may just come with lifting in a big time program.

...but the type of weight is the question here. Last year, everyone assumed Ballard and Miller would have blown up into OL by now...

I understand what you are saying, but with some of the other guys we might bring in and with his frame you would think that for him to get an offer here, that it might be best for him to be a TE.

He rates Jacob as the 3rd best pass-catching TE in the country.
