Malachi Wood commits

[BigBlueFanGA]

3 star local kid, 6'8" 290 or so. Could grow into a beast.

 

[LukaszObrzut]

6’8 290 sounds like he’s already grew into one.

What position ?

What happened to the original ”yahtzee” post?

Anyways … the Kid has a great frame for OT and will be interesting to see him after a few years in strength program.

There wasn't one, just talked about it in State of 2023 Recruiting

Didn’t this kid commit a bit ago?

 

[K_TIME]

Yeah...sounds like a future offensive tackle....maybe need 2 years of S&C before he's ready. Sort of thin for an OL.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

He's a 2023 class OL. By the start of a redshirt sophomore season i bet he'll be 330.

A Sea of Blue said it was "overnight".

Is he the OT? I know we got a commit from a local dude a little bit ago that was really big(size). Lol.

Some here have suggested he's closer to 6'6" 240 than 6'8" 280. But watching his film he appears to be a pretty good athlete, quick first step and runs well but, you're right, needs time in the S&C program.

You may be thinking about Grant Bingham for the 22 class. He's 6'6".

Hell, I can’t keep anything straight lately. Lol.

Actually I think youre right. He actually committed on the 5th.

 

[mrschwump]

Wood committed about a week ago.

Your playing with my mind man!! Haha. I thought I wasn’t crazy but I assume that’s how all crazy people feel.

Good one.

Yenser wants to recruit longer and leaner linemen fit this system. Seems he fits the description.

 

[knockturnal79]

0% chance he's at 290. I'd be completely shocked if hes at 260. Needs to work on his body big time but has the other traits you want in a Tackle.

Good one.

Stoops always says he like length there.

If he is a legit 6'9 than 290 is still slim looking..

He isn't 6'9.

Rock, who is our next instate commit ?

Don't think anything is imminent. Should have a better feel by the end of the spring game.

Wood isn't 6'9" nor 290 but he's a legit 6'6" and has ample time to grow into his body. What I like about him is his first step plus he runs pretty well. Couple of years in S&C and he may be ready to contribute. Worthy of a shot.

For sure. I like the commitment, just noting that his current measurements are nowhere near accurate IMO.

Adieu, Sir Fonzarelli! 🤣

Agreed. Last I heard was 6'6"/7". He's still a really big kid regardless and likely isn't done growing. I have no idea where the 6'9" 290 stuff came from.

Next commitment?
