Claiborne was down to 150lbs at some point during offseason

Don't most people put on weight when they're forced off their feet? Guess he's just naturally a slight dude.

It seems impossible.

I'm his height and normally weigh around 185. I can't imagine being down to 150 without being really sick or stranded on a deserted island.

He did score a 6 on the Wonderlic so maybe 3 digit numbers confuse him.

I'm actually hoping that my son can put on 20 lbs in a year. I think the weight is what is hindering him from getting looks from the big schools. He's fast, has great corner skills, but he's light. I'm thinking if he can get to 170 by his senior year, an SEC team will give him strong consideration because the redshirt freshman year is devoted mainly to putting weight on kids. They spend that freshman year learning plays, eating and conditioning to get them to a weight where they can play big boy football.

Best of luck to your son. If weight is the biggest obstacle he needs to overcome, I think he's in pretty good shape as long as he sticks to a strict diet and exercise regimen. As long as the natural talent is there, I imagine a big school or two will take notice. Besides, I think that although young men have usually stopped growing (height-wise) by your son's age, they're still growing muscle. I'm sure by the time he's a senior, he can be around 160 even without trying too hard to put on weight.

I hope so too. Thanks.

Im only about 5'11, but i max out at 165 or so. If i stop working out for a month ill drop down to around 150 pretty quick. I actually just procured a set of weights and will be working out seriously for the first time since leaving my gym so ill be putting weight back on but im about 147 now. I dont look sick, i am obviously thin though. This is just where i stabalize at. Sounds like he is the same way.

It happens. When I had my shoulder surgery, I went from 210 to 178 very rapidly. An injured body will drop weight. Mind you I'm a powerlifter, so I was rather shocked to see how skinny I got so fast. Once I was able to workout my weight rose rather rapidly, which was par for the course. It makes me wonder about what he did for rehabilitation.
