The defensive linemen are not big, however. Although there is some good size among the five offensive linemen signed, the average weight of the defensive linemen signed is about 230. These boys better be quick or they are going to need to put on some big-time weight to successfully compete in the Big Ten. St. Louis QB Mike Kornfield passed for 2,417 yds and 19 TDs against only five picks last season. He can also move on the ground, rushing for 755 yds.
Good TEs are hard to find and some programs fail to come up with even one in a class.
You can't properly evaluate this class without considering the impact of Losman, who was ranked by SuperPrep as the nation's fourth-best QB in '99. What makes the three TE signees even more interesting is that Chris Scelfo's one-back set doesn't use the TE much. But these recruits have the type of athleticism that will allow them to shift to other positions depending on how they grow and the program's needs. Kosienski is already 6-7, 260. Scelfo was looking to beef up his defensive line.
