He does look like he'd have the frame to get to 245 or even more, but I doubt that the staff will be focused on putting on weight. He's listed at 220lbs, and I think the staff will likely try and keep him around there. Adding 25 lbs will undoubtedly slow him down, and it's not going to make him throw the ball harder. He doesn't need extra mass to block or hit, no sense in adding it.

With a 42-21 lead and 10:29 to play, most teams would be content to just run out the clock. The Cardinal stuck to the ground the rest of the way against Oregon — but not because it was done playing football. Stanford had exhausted its rival’s defense, and the Cardinal was going to take advantage with its trademark: power. On first down, sophomore QB Ryan Burns lifted center Graham Shuler with his left hand and used him as a battering ram to crash for 2 yards on the left side. On second down it was junior guard Josh Garnett pulling and paving the way for a 7-yard Burns run, as Barry Sanders, Jr., already with over 200 yards rushing, cooled his heels on the sideline.  That’s when, as the Cardinal lined up for third-and-1, an Oregon defensive lineman spoke up to Shuler.

“If you guys run a quarterback sneak one more time, I’m done,” he said. “I’m subbing myself out.”
