He could reach 240 in his redshirt year...I'd bet the house on it.
The huge difference you are talking about is a bigger change when you are accustomed to coming out of a three point stance and are then asked to sit back and read defenses.
Typically, there isn't anything hard about learning to fire out of your stance and get after the QB.

A LB on the other hand has to be able to read first, then attack.

Having that slightest hesitation at DE can result negatively. Whereas inversely, a LB that overcommits can be exploited with the passing game or misdirection.
Plus..if Dustin could get to 240 I would still much rather have him tearing around the field as a 240 lb Linebacker LOL
I see where you are coming from and agree to an extent.:thumpsup:

Being that DE & LBs have similar speeds in college, you are both probably right.

Dustin May would be a good hard working recruit but I don't see him going to UK. EKU, Morehead, Pikeville, Georgetown, or Centre, thats about it. But maybe he could get some intrest from WKU since there going to D1 in Football next season. Wes Woods from Prestonsburg will be a nice LB for any college. He is 6'3 or 4 and is a beast in the weight room. I think he'll end up going to EKU or WKU.

Russell's #74 Seth Harvey, I do believe this boy shows real talent. Although linemen never really get the recognition they deserve. Most Running backs wouldn't be as good as they are unless they had GREAT linemen! True he is only a sophmore but look at what his instincts are right now. I also hear he keeps a good grade average. The boy is a star in the making.

Next season, I think Dustin May will at least get some looks from EKU and other D 1AA schools. Perhaps better if he really works on himself, has a great year, and markets himself well.
