Apparently, Kansas State Quarterback Josh Freeman enjoyed too many ice creams over the summer and is having trouble passing his pre-season conditioning tests. Wildcats Coach Ron Prince scored a major win in 2006 as he convinced Freeman, then the #4 QB recruit in the nation by Rivals.com.
Freeman, who started the final 8 games of the season, including the Cats' upset win over Texas, has fluctuated between 245-250, but had a high of 265 pounds. Yes, 265 pounds. That's larger than last year's listed weight for the starting tight end and fullback and 9 of last year's starting defensive 11.
There hasn't been a quarterback this big since the days of Jared Lorenzen at Kentucky. Lorenzen, who allegedly topped out at 6'5", 322 lbs in Lexington was known more for his arm strength and the ability to have D-Line bounce off of his hide. He's now down to a svelte 285lbs with the NY Giants, but his best asset was the nicknames: "The Pillsbury Throwboy", "The BBQ (Big, Beautiful QB)", "The "Round Mound of Touchdown" and my personal favorite, although a tad crass- "The Fat A** with a Cannon Blast".
So while Ron Prince tries to get some Nutri-System to help his quarterback lose some weight, hopefully we can come up with a decent nickname for the kid....
