At 310, he’d work well either at D-tackle or guard. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind it if he’s quick enough to be a center at that weight, either. If he could snap and still get up quickly enough for zone blocking, there would be some ferociously huge cutback lanes available for the running game – especially near the goal line.

Here’s the NCAA pdf file: it’s huge and official.

On page 186, Section 15.5.6.3.2 (Recruited Student-Athlete Entering after Fall Term, Aided in First Year.) refers specifically to Div. 1 football players. It reads, quote:

A student-athlete recruited by the awarding institution who enters after the first term of the academic year and immediately receives institutional financial aid (based in any degree on athletics ability) shall be an initial counter for either the current academic year (if the institution’s annual limit has not been reached) or the next academic year. The student-athlete shall be included in the institution’s total counter limit during the academic year in which the aid was first received.

The term “initial counter” means you count against the 25 scholarships per year limit. The term “total counter” means you count against the 85 total scholarship limit. So a scholarshiped January 2010 enrollee may be counted either in the ‘09 or in the ’10 class. You would have to assume they’ll put him in the ’09 class to leave as much room as possible in the ’10 class.

That is a bid dude. And proud of it, apparently, wearing his weight and all.
