Will it matter

I just got a 6 feet 8 lineman

He is a balanced lineman

He is 78 overall.

he will be redshirted shouldnt he be able to manhandle lineman when he is a junior and senior?

dont listen to him....also your on the right path to have a oline with a min ovr of about 92 wen they ovrs start at 78..also wen you playing against users they'll have a hard time getting through your o-nline and youll love the run blocking(holding them longer) and also them pushing the defenders over lol

His height (and especially his weight) won't matter, but his ratings most definitely will matter, especially his RBK, PBK, IBK. ACC also helps if you'll pull him a lot.

your both idiots its RBK PBK and Strength for lineman. Acc for guards. IBL does nothing. awareness does nothing.

I think Height can help, though not as much for the OL.

This is not true. Awarness plays a huge role in player performance. Lineman included. Awareness is probably the single most important attribute for all players on the field. Acc will help pulling guards get to the edge quicker and impact blocking improves blocking performance. A player with a higher impact block rating is more likely to find defenders downfield on the second level and they are more likely to use cut blocks.

I edited rosters for last year's game (working on 13 now) based on the edits info that GMS and Playmakers gave us. Trust me it works because I saw it for myself and those edits work in this year's game too.

I can admit that weight does not matter at all. The ratings will still shine through if you make the guy 150lbs, many youtube vids of that. Do the ratings matter? Generally speaking yes. Do they matter to the point where a stud is easily identifiable from a scrub player? No. That is where EA is failing.
