Anyway, that should be future Irving then (or Hayes).

I have a hard time believing Bevins is even 6'5"

But maybe, I haven't seen the kid in years.

My neighbors son wrestles in high school. They had a meet or tournament or whatever wrestling matches are called, and when they wrestled Creston, he was raving about how big this kid from Creston was. He was referring to Bevins and he said he weighed in at 260 and was at least 6'6. The one thing that stood out to him was not his size, but the fact that the kid didn't appear to have an ounce of fat on him. He couldn't believe a high school kid could be that big and not appear to have an ounce of fat on him.

...also had acne, was bald, and a bit of a temper.

Nope. Ate like a Damn horse. Had to be 6000 calories per day.

Of course, eating is always needed, and any amateur knows what to take to prevent the aforementioned.

Interesting, I was just talking to his DL coach who said he's at 240 right and that he was about to go meet with CPR tonight about Bevins. But yeah I've seen pictures of him on Facebook as we know a lot of the same people and he doesnt look fat at all.

Well, high school kids would never, ever exaggerate at all...

When I was in HS we had pretty good scales at the wrestling weigh ins. Probably a little more accurate than a coaches wag.

Pierre also seems to be under the impression that he will be a DE and Bevins will be a DT.

I think we close out the class with DT Devlyn Cousin. White will probably be the LB we land. Really wish we could land Gibson though at CB.

Bevins is hitting about 250lbs right now. His team went down to Kansas City for one of the toughest tournaments in the nation and he was the first Creston kid to ever win a title.
I just left the Creston wrestling meet against Harlan and Coach Paul Rhoads was there. He spent a ton of time talking to Harlan head football coach Curt Bladt. Once again Bevins dominated his opponent tonight. His opponent was weighing right at 260lbs.
