If we finish strong, this is gonna be one hell of a class, no matter how you slice and dice it.

"I'm not really sweating it trying to get to 300 pounds. I want to stay lean, fast and strong," Clelland said. "The coaches really like me being lean where I can still run and use my motor. I want to keep going the whole time, the whole game. That's something I really want to keep."

I'm guessing he's a heavyweight?

I don't understand the pre-occupation with Lane's weight (or lack thereof). If you look at the top 20 tackles according to Rivals (just as an example), the following individuals are in the same zip code as Lane (who is rated 14):

Tyron Smith #2 264lbs
Matt Khalil #3 280lbs
Tyler Love #7 285lbs
Matt Patchan #8 265lbs
Greg Shaw #12 267lbs
Bryce Givens #16 257lbs
Barrett Jones #17 271lbs
Luke Poehlmann #18 260lbs

So, with Lane there are 9 guys in the same ballpark; ie. almost half of the top 20 Tackles. I don't think the weight is a problem right now; but at some point in the future the staff may push him to put on some more weight, and if he has any designs to play on Sundays he would have to comply. Right now the guy has 2 things helping him be effective at a lower weight:

-wrestling background will help with leverage
-he 'freakin' squats a quarter ton......which is a bigger deal than the bench
