Congrats to the young man, that is great. It seems the offers are starting to roll in for these plays at a younger age, especially the linemen.

Anyone have his height/ weight available ?

About 6'4" and roughly 235-240 lbs.

6' 2 1/2" and 234 per the combine results. Hopefully he also spoke to McCallister about what is and is not allowed at the sophomore level in regards to recruiting. This is from MSR website.What Sophomores Need to Know
So you are one of the few who may have played some varsity during your freshman year and had success. Is the recruiting process going to start during your sophomore year? It could, so here are some things you need to remember.

TELEPHONE CALLS: As much as you would like for a college coach to call you they can't. College coaches can not call a prospect during their sophomore year of high school. But, a high school sophomore prospect may make unlimited calls to a college coach.

CONTACT: College coaches are not allowed to make off campus contact with high school sophomores. You may have contact if you visit a college campus with a coach.

VISITS: Sophomore prospects are not allowed to make any official visits. These will come during your senior year. You may make unlimited unofficial visits to a college to visit with coaches at your expense.

For additonal information, visit the web site of the NCAA Clearinghouse.

A lineman weighing 235 lbs?? Seems small to me even as just a sophomore.

He will be a junior in the fall of 2012. Plenty of time to put on some added muscle and weight. Congrats young fella!

Seems that OSU has offered a couple 2014 olinemen. Colt might want to find a bigger school to show his talents. My info says size and competition will hurt him getting an offer. Great kid, but don't see him growing a lot more.
