Up from the 268 pounds he was at when he first came here. With Coach Balis watching over him, I'm sure those pounds were good muscle pounds, which is why he was able to get some playing time this year.
I wouldn't quite put him in there as a true nose / over tackle just yet, since he's going to need another year of S&C under Balis to handle those massive centers that we face.
I do see him getting some more playing time at the three-technique / under DT spot (not the nose tackle) this season, though, and he can probably pack on another 10 quality pounds before the 2023 season starts.
He looks a lot like his brother, and has the same kind of nose to the grindstone work ethic. Like his brother, though, he's more of a project, than an instant ready player. It may very well be until the 2024 season when he can truly play to his potential.
