Some background on the mystery man. Clelland is also a High School heavyweight wrestler and baseball player which may somewhat explain the strength issue, as he tries to maintain his quickness for those 2 sports. He is supposed to be a skinny 265, and apparently will be able to carry 300 lbs. with no problem. CW & company must have seen the same thing in the kid, that he will have no problem putting on weight and adding strength, otherwise, I am sure he would not have received an OL offer.
His older brother was an OL at Northwestern from 1997-2001, and is an assistant coach at Lane's High School. They are supposed to travel together to visit ND & Michigan the end of this month. Currently, his only other offer is from Maryland, but he is supposedly getting recruited by USC and Nebraska in addition to Michigan and a bunch of ACC schools. However, with there being so little info available on this recruit, the list of schools that they say are recruiting him may be getting inflated in order to increase his stock. Anyway, FWIW, it appears that ND has a really good shot at him.
