Byron Washington’s Height Issue In High School

[Cuse On 3]

“Byron Washington entered DeSoto High School with rods in his legs to stop his growth plates from breaking open. He stood at 6-foot-8, 450+ pounds and struggled to move”

With Shaq's advice, Byron Washington plays for a bigger purpose

Recruited as a key part of SU's future, 6-foot-8, near-400-lb Byron Washington’s journey to get his body into football shape is paying off.

I think this kids going to be a stud for us. Once he drops more weight and gains even more muscle I bet he absolutely starts at guard. The confidence Fran instills in his players and notably, Byron, is nothing short of excellent coaching. We are very lucky to have both men representing Syracuse university

I would also like to point out that the rapid growth Byron was facing probably limited his mobility not just his weight, hence rods being placed in his legs (ouch). Nothing wrong with being a dominant guard in college & NFL though.

He has already dropped weight Fran talked about this earlier this week.

Yep, close to being under 400.

EDIT: if he isn’t already

I think he should be starting or at least going a couple drives with the 1s he could be nasty in the run game .

Think HCFB said he was down to 380 in his week 3 pregame presser

370-380 for him and we are in great shape. He was significantly larger when he showed up on campus. He’s done an amazing job. So has strength and conditioning team.

He was definitely moving people off the line last week. Future star!

Shows the level of care our coaches have for players willing to work... not just as players but to want them to succeed in life in general. Byron's quality of life at 350 will be exponentially better than his trajectory would be at 400+
