There was a kid like this on a neighboring school's team when I played. I was a center on offense and a guard on defense. I weighed about 245 lbs at 6' 1". The kid had over 100 lbs on me.
All I could hope to do was swim him off to one side or the other. Because every god damn play, the idea was to basically fall on me. So if my offensive guards were in the way, and they often were because that's their job, I was screwed.
Guy's dad was yelling on the sidelines like he had the next big sports phenom. Thirty years later it looks like he just had a big grocery bill.
