Made a point of putting his picture up because it looks like he is taking the weight issue seriously. I cannot tell how much he weighs in this picture but he looks much more slim than the last time I saw pictures.

This Glenville star is rising as weight drops
Thursday, August 23, 2007Bob FortunaPlain Dealer Reporter
Shawntel Rowell used to stack pancakes at the breakfast table. Now the Glenville senior is busy eating up the opposition on the football field.

Rowell was a 6-5, 370-pound lineman when he transferred from Warrensville Heights 18 months ago. However, in order to see more playing time, Rowell has slimmed down to 320 pounds on the advice of Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr.

"I thought [coach Ginn] was crazy when he told me he wanted me down to 290-300 pounds, but I found out coach Ginn always has a vision of his players doing something worthwhile," Rowell said. "He's been there with other players, so when he tells you do something, you do it. That's why I want to lose more weight."

Rowell has received scholarship offers from Illinois, Purdue, Indiana, Marshall, Miami of Ohio, Toledo and Eastern Michigan. More prominent programs, including Florida and LSU, have sent letters of interest.

Ranked the 12th-best senior in the current issue of Ohio High Magazine, his stock could improve because his weight loss has made him a legitimate two-way lineman. Besides remaining a fixture on Glenville's offensive line as a guard, his role as a defensive tackle will grow. That's where recruiters see him playing in college.

It's good to see Rowell has the dedication to lose weight. Judging from that pic above, he doesn't look nearly as hefty. Assuming grades are ok and he has a good and intense season, maybe an OSU offer is in his future.

Compare this photo to the ones on the first page of this thread.
Anyone have a 40 time for shawntel? I hope he is this year's late Glenville offer.

If he keeps his weight down, and we whiff on Justin Thompson, I'd say give Rowell a scholarship. DLman are a necessity and bringing in Goebel, Mobley and Rowell at DT would be a very nice haul.

Agree completely. If we miss on Thompson I'd love for Rowell to be the next guy in line.
