Ha, Bucky was the first one I looked for, purely for my own amusement.
Clearly it is a misinformation campaign. Probably the reason he's listed at #3 TE is to minimize the time he has on the field simply to keep his current dimensions as secret as possible.

If JC is really up to 194 then maybe he can be what the coaching staff wants him to be. At his height and close to 200 he should be hard to take down. I'm pulling for him.
Also good to see Ford is up to 205. I still think he RS but glad to see him put on some weight.
I think Isiah is heading for a RS unless his speed is too much to keep him off the field 174 seems light to me. It'd be hard for him to Escape press coverage at the line I'd think.

Our TE's average 6'4 242 hahaha Lefty has to be oozing with excitement with those 3 (Cline, Malleck and Hodges) Not to mention Redman who is 6'4 271 ahh Must see big formation ASAP!!!!!!!

Dadi listed at 6-4 235 (?!)
Ricky Walker now 6-3, 286 (was 6-2 270 in recruiting profile)
Wyatt Teller 6-6 301
Ronny VD up to 219 (from 205 or so)
Lawrence Gibson back up to 297 (from what, 270 or so?)
Good stuff.

One player who looks like he took full advantage of the offseason weight room is WR Josh Stanford. Looked noticeably more bulked up. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) August 4, 2014
Stanford is going to go beast mode this year.

Most of it looks like real good news.... Except for the starting LBs. Williams at 215 and Clarke at 213. Come on. I was hoping that Williams would have added 10-15 LBs. 210-215 pound LBs are a recipe for getting destroyed by 220+ pound RBs, imo...

Parker Osterloh is one huge human being, 6'8" 327 pounds. Looks like the only true freshman OL that could possibly go not redshirt would be Eric Gallo and with Wang/Chung injured he will get plenty of reps at center.
Good seeing 5 RBs that are on the bigger side being over 220 lbs.
Those LBs need to take advantage of that good campus food but on the plus side they should be able to chase down running QBs. Really glad that tOSU loses Carlos Hyde and 4/5 OL from last year.

I think Mitchell dresses. He could play several positions and is very talented. Pettit and Mitchell both may be better than Osterloh, who is huge but got worked over pretty good by walk on Jeremy Haynes in the spring.

I'm a big fan of Billy Ray, would be interesting to see him dress but def hope he redshirts. Pettit at 266 looks he def needs a redshirt year. For Osterloh is it something with his fundamentals or was it attitude with him getting worked over by a much smaller walk on?
Speaking of OL it seems like Beamer gave a lot of praise to Teller, Conte, Smith, and Plaff. Sounds like there's a message being sent to Jon McLaughlin.

*cue comments about Bucky Hodges...*
I am surprised no one has taken the #1 jersey

Raymon Minor might be taking #1

Pulling this from memory, but pretty sure JC started August camp at 190 last summer, so not really much of a change
Don't deny my pussy touchdown like that, bro.
Santamaria needs to get his ass to Owens and start downing cheesesteaks immediately.
hmmm....Cheesesteaks
My first meal as a student at VT. Took it to go and sat on the hill that leads down to Owens, just watching everything. It was glorious.
As long as they go straight to his kicking leg.
Had to be specific knowing you all...
It seems like half of our DL grew an inch
Bucky gave them some of his extras.
Matt Hill would make a good TE or WR, if QB doesnt work out.

My 2 year old almost outweighs him. Haha.
got too excited and forgot the 1
I figured as much, just found it funny to picture a 6'4 27lb dude.

Good stuff.
Good to see that Dadi has packed some of that weight back on. I was worried when he was 218.
Really hope that's good weight. If it is, I'm gonna be pretty stoked. If he's a chubster now, I'll be sad.
Didn't he also grow 3"?
I like to see this:
Stanford is going to go beast mode this year.

220 lb running backs aren't everywhere. And reality is, proper tackling technique and the correct leverage can overcome size difference.

This is the play for the first time Carlis Parker enters the game against OSU.
188 seems real small for Carlis Parker
If David Wang is 6'2 than I am 6'5
authors note: I am not 6'5

Searels ran McLaughlin like a dog after practice during the last scrimmage before the spring game.
