Listen to the man!
Wut? At 6'4" in D1 he's going to need to be much heavier than 270. Dig in and drive won't help if he's a guard trying to push around a 320# DT.
What year are you now? Ranked for your state or nationally? Been on any visits yet?
Where did anyone say get fatter? You're not the only person with experience playing football in this thread, boss. I understand the needs of an athlete from this position specifically, and for the sport overall.
You don't even know what a dirty bulk is at 17. It doesn't exist. Additionally, this quote ^^^
And this quote indicate that adding 25 pounds isn't out of the realm of possibility. So why do you think the jump from 275 to 300 will be significantly different than 250-275?
I definitly will, at 17 size cannot be your biggest focus. You become the lineman for w.e your school needs depending on where you choose to go. Some schools ground and pound, some pull their guards every play, hell if your quick you will be moved to TE and if you become over 300lbs you may get moved to center. Its all up to where coach needs you and if your willing to make those moves to see the field. Now anyone whos ever played knows that roster is very inaccurate and prolly off by 10-20lbs just so the boys are always bigger on paper than real life. ive never seen a coach that doesnt. Advice comes in many forms and sry that you feel your toes stepped on but from a guy whos been there, trained them, and seen how D1 and NFL recruiters judge and review athleticism I can only offer what helps. Hope it all works out for ya man and goodluckWhere did anyone say get fatter? You're not the only person with experience playing football in this thread, boss.

Tell me how many picks you see in this photo under 300.
Keep telling everyone how being a big ass OL isn't important, because you're the only one who feels that way.

Since it appears there's either some miscommunication or just pure lack of knowledge in here re: gaining 20-25#...
If you want to get bigger, you've got to eat more, period.
At 17, if you're conditioning (because you DO condition in the summer) and you're training 6 days a week, do you have ANY IDEA at your size what you'll have to eat to get fat? Seriously.
You'll do what you want, because that's what kids do. I'm just trying to let you know that if you're working as hard as you claim to be, you're going to need to EAT to get huge & bulldoze mf'ers.
Good luck.
