Around SBN: Dissecting Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

4. Nate Solder, Colorado, OT: A handful of five-star recruits have come to CU in the past few years. Solder wasn't one of them. He was deemed an average tight end prospect by the online recruiting services, but man, has he blossomed in Boulder. He's now a chiseled 6-8, 300-pound junior with a staggering 8.3 percent body fat according to the school, which had him tested in the Bod Pod, a system for measuring body composition. The guy practically makes Dwight Howard look like a Van Gundy. Solder's workout numbers are just as impressive: He power-cleans 407, hang-cleans 445, back squats 622, vertical jumps 34 inches and runs the 40 in 4.86 seconds.

Looks like Tarzan...

Lets hope he plays like Tarzan.
 
I’d say last year was a tough one for Nate. He did have a great game against KSU, but he struggled too. Probably to be expected for 1st year starters.

But this year, we need this guy to be a beast.

For what it's worth Department

Ed Cunningham at ESPN College Football Live listed Solder as one of his top 10 “Athletic Freaks” in the country. had him at #4 and ready for a break out season. Nice to see the press, now lets hope he thrives and lives up to the hype!
