It's a little concerning that the one who looks nothing like the others in terms of build, is by far the best and is gonna be an All-American next year...

Yeah Curtis Grant's bicep is almost as big as Shazier's torso. Looks like a young Vernon Gholston.

From what I can tell Curtis Grant is not in the picture. I actually think that's Jamal Marcus on the far left.

I believe from L to R, it's Jamal Marcus, David Perkins, Luke Roberts, RDS, Cam Williams, Joe Burger, Craig Fada.

Grant is yoked. The guy next to him is pretty jacked. Shazier is still a twig. Def not 230..or even close for that matter.

Lol I wouldnt call him a twig lol, but he is definitely smaller than the others.

I was always amazed at how hard he hit for a guy his size. Hopefully this year, he goes for the big hit less and wraps up more.

Still a beast though, and will probably be a first rounder after his JR year.

Shazier is more like 6'0" 215 lbs; like Ed Reeds size playing LB. Still a dog and my favorite player on OSUs squad. If he could bulk up to a legit 230-235 he'd be down right unstoppable.

Everyone looks jacked when they are sprinting in a picture. I will say he's over 215 though..prob 220 give or take.

That's a little too small for him. My money's on 6'1" 220 or so. Ed Reed goes about 5'11 205 by the way.

I don't think a certain weight will dictate his potential. He's already All-American caliber at 220 or whatever..so what's 10-15 pounds going to do for him when he already stops dudes dead in their tracks when he hits? Just slow him down a little is all.

Let's say at 235 he'd add bulk to his legs and chest. It would make him that much more powerful getting off blocks, and a better run stopper up the middle. The guys my favorite players on the team because of his tenacity. He gets knocked around but always manages to find a way to the ball. The speed and instincts will be there, even if he adds weight his frame needs for the next level. I don't think he'd slow down much, if at all. James Laurinaitis was listed at 6'3" 240 while at OSU. He was more like 6'2" 230 in his OSU days. Now he's listed at 6'2" 250 for the Rams which is legit. When these guys jump from college to the pros they're always adding weight at the LB position. 

May have overstated comparing to Ed Reeds measurements. I do agree that he's most likely around 6'1" 220 area. They always list these guys bigger than what they are. Hell, they start doing that in high school.

You make good points. Laurinaitis was actually about 244 lbs at the combine..so he was actually pretty big in his OSU days. He was probably 230 as a sophmore maybe.

Man Shazier looks like a little kid in that picture, and he's huge. Curtis Grant looks like a monster, let's hope he plays like one this fall.

Shazier is no twig. He has his arms up & he's farther back than the others...sort of an illusion, although, no doubt, he's is a bit smaller. As long as he continues being the best damn LB on the team, doesn't matter to me what he weighs.
