We examine how the Rivals.com profiles for each 2021 scholarship signee compares to the official school listing for the heights and weights.

Were they close? Far off? We take a look at each of the 17 new additions that have arrived in the spring and summer.

Height: 5-foot-11

Weight: 200-pounds


Rivals.com gave Burks an inch and was 10-pounds lighter but overall pretty accurate.

Height: 6-foot-1

Weight: 175-pounds


Coleman was listed as ten-pounds heavier on his profile and one-inch shorter.

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 203-pounds


Crowder again was fairly accurate coming in an inch shorter and weighing about 10-pounds more but he was able to participate in spring ball.

Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 246-pounds


This one is the furthest off so far as Davis is two-inches shorter than his listed profile but comes in 21-pounds heavier. That second part could be explained by spending the entire spring with the football program after enrolling early.

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 248-pounds


Dudley is the first to hit on the correct height and outside the fact that he was seven-pounds lighter it was a near perfect match.

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 200-pounds


Another that was a near perfect match as Hammett was only five-pounds lighter in his profile which can be easily explained.

Height: 6-foot-0

Weight: 200-pounds


This is one where Johnson is actually an inch taller than his Rivals.com profile and come in weighing nine pounds heavier.

Height: 6-foot-1

Weight: 188-pounds


Davis is an inch shorter than his Rivals.com profile but already is 13-pounds heavier after spending the spring on campus.

Height: 5-foot-10

Weight: 200-pounds


McLeod is two inches shorter than he was listed on Rivals but is 10-pounds heavier.

Height: 6-foot-7

Weight: 280-pounds


Milum comes in an inch taller than his listed height and is exactly 280-pounds.

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 209-pounds


Prather is not only an inch taller but 11-pounds heavier than on his Rivals.com profile. That second part can be attributed to spending the spring with the program.

Height: 6-foot-6

Weight: 298-pounds


Rimac is the same height but has gained 18-pounds from his listing on Rivals.com.

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 255-pounds


A perfect match here.

Height: 6-foot-3

Weight: 278-pounds


Vesterinen comes in an inch shorter than his recruiting profile, but weighs 23-pounds more which could be attributed to arriving in January.

Height: 6-foot-4

Weight: 250-pounds


Wikstrom comes in a whole inch taller and 25-pounds heavier, which can be expected because I created his profile two years ago. He has put in a lot of work in the weight room and was able to enroll in January.

Height: 6-foot-2

Weight: 171-pounds


Wilson-Lamp hit on the height but after spending the spring with the football program is now eight pounds heavier.
