Wade Boots is probably the thickest, but he's only like 185 -190 lbs max. Not sure, just guessing from seeing him. Most are very lean and cut. Must be all that jumping causing constant compression on the body keeping it from getting taller! ha ha!

What about Myles Rockwell? He's a monster....I'm 6'2" and he made me feel small standing next to him! I mean he's a beast! But also the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet. Hey when I make it pro then you all can through my name out as being one of the tall guys...ha ha ha, I'll keep dreaming
