Freshmen are supposed to be small. On my Frosh-Soph team, both our starting offensive tackles weighed less than 200 lbs. and our guards were like 165 and 175. Didn't the University of Wyoming - yes, college football - have a starting offensive guard or tackle who was only 180 lbs back in the 70s? When I played offensive center as a HS soph at 205-215 lbs, the guys who gave me fits on the defensive line were the small quick guys. Does anyone here recall Alan Page playing defensive tackle as an NFL professional - yes, pro football - late in his career at 6'4" 235 lbs? Don't get so hung up on bulk.

You can't compare lineman from <80s to the current linemen, its a completely different breed.
