FWIW, when Joe Jurevicius came out of Mentor Lake Catholic, he was listed at 6-5 215. I realize the two are different, but don't immediately assume that because Stoneburner is allegedly 6-5 220, he will be a TE in college.

That is far from being a secondary priority...

I had Stoneburner tabbed at TE before, but after seeing his video, I see him staying at WR. He is really quick for being as big as he is and he looks like a natural WR...not saying he couldn't end up at TE, but he looks like a WR to me on film.

Great interview with Jacob, I really hope he and Trey can end up at the same school as they have dreamed of since the 4th grade, when they first became teammates.

Well if the kid can block that if he adds weight then he could be deadly at the TE position... |

He can be deadly as a WR without the weight or the burden of being on the line.
You love to switch a position though

I just think that it is usually easier for these guys to add weight.
I have no problem with him staying at WR if he doesnt lose his top end speed when he comes to college and adds weight...
Honestly I would love for him to be a flex type TE where they split him out sometimes and sometimes let him play with his hand down...
I just like versatility...  |
