Tallest player you've ever recruited?

[LivingLegend]

I just recruited a 6'8 275 pound TE, I get him and he turns out to have 88 speed with great hands. Dude is an absolute monster, he just towers over the corners and lb's that cover him.

6'8 333 LBS *** Athlete.

Turned out he was a center.

By his senior year, he would be the top rated non-kicker on my team. No joke. And it was amazing to run up the middle with him using SEC Elite's sliders, because they allow weight and momentum to play more of a focus into the game. Sure, they don't give you any pancake stats, but all I had to do was run behind my behemoth of a center (who was 358 lbs by his redshirt senior year) and it would be a near automatic 5 yards.

Link to those sliders?

That's crazy about the Center, I can't wait to see how big my TE is by his senior year.

I would have had to switch him to some other position. LT, DT. Something like that.

I have a 6'9" Guard in my OD and he has 92 strength. I want to run to his side all day. I don't know if height makes a difference in the game but I makes me feel more comfortable running to that side even if height has no effect.

Re: Tallest player you've ever recruited?

Back in the previous gen, you'd always run across a couple 6'10" guys, but it seems to me they've made the max height for generated recruits 6'8" since the move to this gen.

Except he was 4 overall less as a tackle and a 42 as defensive line or something ridiculously low like that.

edit: really wish EA would make athletes capable of playing multiple positions.

There are athletes who can play multiple positions. I recruited one who would have been at least a 75 at every position on defense, RB, and WR though he was a little too small to play on the defensive line.

Re: Tallest player you've ever recruited?

I have a 6'8" TE right now. Decent hands, middle of the road speed.

What's his name and what state did he come out of?

Re: Tallest player you've ever recruited?

All of my receivers are over 6'5"

Re: Tallest player you've ever recruited?

Tallest I can remember is an 6'6" athlete, who turned out to be a WR. Not a great route runner, but physically he is just a beast. Almost just like a Dorial Green-Beckham clone.

Probably have recruited some taller o-linemen I cant remember though.

Re: Tallest player you've ever recruited?

I'm going after a 6'7 *** WR... I should nail him easily and he'll carry my Duke offense in a few years.

Really? that's fantastic for you. I have recruited probably close to 50 athletes in this year's game and the only ones that can potentially play multiple positions are RB/WR or LB/DE. Otherwise it is all one position. What are his attributes like?

From what I've see, these are the assorted position 1 Athlete can play:

WR/RB/CB

OT/OG/DE/DT/LB

CB/S/OLB

OLB/MLB/DE/DT

Any Position/True Athlete
