He may not be a starter out of the gate but he'll play. We only have 8 linemen at best he's gonna be forced to play.Gator Fever;n194094 said:Good point. I will have to go look at the roster. With no spring I highly doubt he starts unless its later in the season however.

t-gator;n194088 said:Didn't apopka run behind him for back to back 8a state championships? Wasn't he the best o-line prospect in the last two years? If any o lineman can play as a frosh it would be Ivey
Marianna said:He's around 275 lbs now so he needs to gain around 35 or 40 lbs to be able to hold up. Anything less than 315 he'll get thrown around like a rag doll.
TLB;n194268 said:Real question I'd want to ask - how soon can Ivey start training with us? I'd imagine as a HS grad in May, he could enroll for summer sessions to get on campus and start eating/lifting weights, and as smart as he is, I presume that would be his plan. But aren't there coaching contact restrictions until fall practice, that I assume doesn't start until August? It's a plus to be on campus, getting integrated with the OL players and they can guide him on diet/exercise if the coaches aren't allowed as well as talk to him about what they've learned thus far. It's up to him, I suppose, on when to enroll, but when can he legally start getting on board with the program?
By the time the season rolls around Ivey will be at the right weight. I guarantee you that Mac and the Strength staff has told those boys what they need to do.maheo30;n194302 said:I know tight end Moral Stephens was about 200-205 when he signed his LOI. The coaching staff gave him a routine he could do on his own. He worked his butt off and by the time he got on campus he was 230. He is now listed at 247. I hope the staff did something similar with all the o-linemen that signed so that they can be adding weight now in addition to what they gain once they arrive.
