The Football Recruiting Process for Offensive Guards and their average size at all levels
One of the more interesting pieces of the position by position football recruiting PDF was that I broke down the size that college coaches are looking for at different positions (This e-book is still for sale at only $5.00 so click here for more information). This got me thinking about all the different sizes of players in all classes at different positions.
I decided to take a look at the top five teams in Division I-A (aka BCS), Division I-AA (aka FCS), Division II, and Division III as they were ranked in polls a few weeks ago. I looked up each school, their two starting offensive guards, and how big they are. The sizes of these athletes really varied from Division to Division and it is interesting to compare those starting at the highest level possible versus Division III starters.
Outside of the Division I-A level, all schools were hit or miss in trying to find out who the starters were. Some programs had game day releases that broke down the depth chart and that is where this information was pulled. The athletes listed below were all listed as starters so keep that in mind as well. I also decided to add their year in school so you can get a feel for how big they are at what year they are in college. Onto the list:

Do college coaches take into account how old high school seniors are when recruiting? If a player is a “young” senior, and will barely be 18 by graduation in 2009, do coaches recruit thinking that perhaps the player still has some growth potential? My son is almost 6’5″ and 250, and is hoping to grow yet. Coaches he has met keep encouraging him to EAT!
Karen,
They may talk about how much and how young an athlete is but does it really matter? Likely not all that much. I hear it more from high school/AAU coaches more than college coaches.
