JasoninMT Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 http://www.radio.pressbox1.com/ This is from the local station. I can't listen at work - but maybe someone else can. He was not a DT at Bethel - he's listed there as OL. I think he's probably being taken as an OT project ala Peters. Bethel has Bass Fishing as a sport - now there's something I didn't know you could compete at collegiately. www.bethelathletics.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Jason, The Bills are looking at Jasper as a nose tackle. Gailey said as much in the post-draft PC. Very intriguing prospect; I'll be rooting for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 hey..I'm rooting for the guy no matter where he plays. He is one big fella that can jump and move. It will be interesting to see what transpires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Geez...the guy was signed with Ole Miss, but transferred to UT Martin...Played BOTH offensive gaurd, tackle and defensive tackle, was a shot putter and has a huge vertical leap. I think he's a steal as a seventh round pick....When in doubt, go for the Tennessee player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I want to buy his jersey. It'll hold my wifey and me! He'll be a NT and I bet he's Refrigerator Perry on goal-to-go situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I didn't see a link either. Of course, I clicked on it 20 minutes after this thread said the interview was schedueld to start.... Did anyone listen? Anyone have a summary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He was dunking at 440lbs?!?! Are you f'ing kidding me. Im a 6'2" 180 and I cant dunk, thats insane. He was 390# in the video. But was that a regulation-sized ball? It looked like a kid's ball in his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He was 390# in the video. But was that a regulation-sized ball? It looked like a kid's ball in his hand. The running back he's blocking for (in the pics on his site) looks like a midget, so I am pretty sure it's a regulation-sized basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasoninMT Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 The Interview was a radio interview @ 5:30... After eball commented, I read the transcript at BB.Com where it said he switched from DL to RT to meet their need - but he feels Defensive line is his natural position. I think it's pretty cool that the scouts urged him to drop to under 400 and he dropped even more - sounded like he was extremely happy with being drafted at all and appreciates the opportunity. I think this kid is going to pour himself into his new job - the lockout really sucks. Now they can't even communicate with him since he's on the roster. I wonder how much contact teams can have with potential UDFAs? there could be more underground coaching going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I just want to a. Know why he tranferred around b. Nobody wanted a athletic 400 pounder at a big school c. Why we have not heard of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Buffalo is the ideal place for him. There are enough "big heavies" roaming around that he'll hardly stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saundena Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I just want to a. Know why he tranferred around b. Nobody wanted a athletic 400 pounder at a big school c. Why we have not heard of him a. I believe he ended up not going to Ole Miss b/c the coach was fired. Later, he transfered once again b/c we wanted to find a school more inline with his Christian beliefs. b. Maybe he was only interested in Ole Miss c. I'm shocked about this too. You would think that more teams would have had an athletic 400+LB human being on their radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Bills scout who found him: “The amazing thing about him is that he never gets tired,” Hand said. “In the games I watched, he never came off the field. He played hard the full game.” Apparently, he also did very well on the Wonderlic Edited May 3, 2011 by saundena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
