Stallion, I'm glad you mentioned this guy. Everything I've seen on him is, I gather, the same information that you've seen. However, I talked this week with someone who not only has seen him play, but knows him personally. I asked about this guy, quoting what I'd seen on the internet (6'4" 300-ish) and he said it's not even close. He said Handy is between 6'1" and 6'2" and about 250-260 pounds (which matches one report I saw on him, but had discounted as false because of the multitude of reports suggesting he was much bigger). He said that Handy played OT in high school because they had nobody with any size on the Westfield offensive line, but that he's probably a defensive lineman -- maybe even DE -- in college. He said Handy supposedly has run an electronically timed 4.7 in the 40. He said Handy is getting some attention from some pretty legit teams, but that the general thinking is that he'll play on the DL in college. I just wonder: how is there such a discrepency between the various reports?
If the report I heard about his size is accurate, I think he sounds like a pretty appealing DE prospect.
