Broke state record last weekend in power lifting. 650 squat, 670 dead lift, 285 bench. Beast.
anyone else thinks this dude's name sounds like an investment firm?
I think his upper body strength will come around relative to his squat/deadlift numbers. I’ve seen him play in person. He is built to move solid objects. Locks on and drives his opponent downfield.
Excited to see what Hawkeye coaches can do for his development.
Believe me, for a kid that size who is young and growing into his frame, 285 bench is not weak in comparison to his peers.
I'm not knocking him, I agree that a young man with that frame 285 is impressive.
What I'm questioning is this part of the OP: Broke state record last weekend in power lifting.
I was in h.s. back in the mid-80s in E. Iowa, and there was a kid at my school who benched 450 ...he was a power lifter and competed. Pretty sure at the time he broke the record for his age. The local paper sent a guy to my school to do a story on him.
So guess I'm wondering how 285 broke the record?
Yeah, I could see that ...but the dude I went to school with had a ~600 squat and ~600 deadlift, possibly a little more on each.
I'd assume that 40 years later a persons bench would need to be at least in the ~400 range by now in order to break that record.
Could he be good enough to jump right in& start by, say, October of true freshman year? I just love the thought of possibly another Tristan Wirfs
It's a big ask, not even Bulaga or Gallery to my knowledge started at a true freshman, maybe Mike Jones? And then usually we put them in at guard vs. Tackle.
