webb city dude is not impressed
I saw that this morning. Good for him and some national publicity for Nixa and Coach Perry too.
He looks like a better version of former Chiefs OT John Alt. Stay healthy look out he's sure fire playing in the NFL.
He may end up a number 1 overall pick. That is a generational talent.
Possible. May end up pursuing the Olympic route like his parents did. Who knows. Maybe both.
If he wants to make any money, he won't mess with the Olympic stuff.
Totally. Can definitely see him turning down a 25 million dollar signing bonus as a Top 5 pick in the NFL Draft to pursue a once-every-4-year Olympic Field event that quite literally no one cares about. Dumbest poster in MoSports
This is one persons opinion and if I'm wrong I'll own it ...
When you consider this ... he graduates in May 2026, the next summer games are July 14-30, 2028 IN LOS ANGELES (in other words he doesn't have to miss training camp at college to compete) and will not have to go overseas.
Assume he redshirts (in football) in the fall of 2026, plays as a redshirt freshman in the fall of 2027, by the summer of 2028 he will have two seasons of college football and track and field under his belt and I believe his legs will still be young enough and fresh enough to generate the power to compete at the Olympic level.
He competes in the LA summer games in 2028, plays his sophomore year at the still to be determined college and depending on his career at that point, he will be three seasons removed from high school and draft eligible in the spring of 2029 NFL Draft. I predict he declares for the draft and then it goes from there.
But if he throws at the Olympics, I'm confident its 2028. If he tries again in 2032, he 'could' be a third-year NFL veteran (2029, 2030 and 2031 seasons) and I'm not sure the daily grind on the legs of an NFL lineman, especially a three-year player, would have enough in him to compete at the Olympic level. This is all speculation, I could absolutely be wrong, and I really hope I am. Would love to see a prep product from Missouri earn as many Olympic medals as he can and also have a successful professional career in the NFL.
