Sounds great for OL and with him playing basketball at least shows he must have great feet for his size so maybe, he could play DT. I'VE always loved having a player with big daddy wilkinson size and he's bigger  in the middle to eat up space and require two blocks to open up the speedy DE'S to SCARE the QB.

He's 6'8"-6'9". That doesn't exactly scream DT to me.

6'8-6'9 340 anywhere, on the d-line but, Worthington is 6'7 280 at DT so I was thinking a huge DT in the middle because, we need speedsters at DE. |

If he is athletic enough and has good knee bend, then he wouldn't be the first big tall DT (think Alan Branch) With one huge space eater and one quick leverage wrestler types (do we have any of these ) we'd give O-lines fits.

When I think of extremely tall D-tackles, John Henderson (6-7 335) immediately comes to mind and he was an absolute beast at Tennessee.

Good one, I believe he still is a beast (when healthy, but that is seldom)

Not saying it's impossible but I don't think we'd be getting the most out of his talents.

I like the fact OSU/FLORIDA are showing interest but, him playing any spot would make me  . Just bringing up my own opinion that something the d-line really needs because, most the season it seemed like the middle was weak against the run and causing pressure . Orlando pace played both ways/red zone in 2 of his 3 years. As much as I like having those wrestlers/football players in the middle I've always felt one of them with a really big space eater would make the defense more dominant. That would make the DE'S/LB'BERS/S look illegal in BLITZES.
