Coaches comments: Chris is an extremely impressive kid for his age.  At 6’6” 320 lbs he has a 400+ lb. bench press and a squat well over 500 lbs. and he’s only 15 years old.  Usually kids who are that big and that young are uncoordinated, but Chris is far from that. 

His footwork can definitely improve, but for his size and age it’s very good.  He plays with a nasty attitude, which is also unique for a 15 year old, kid.  Chris has the size, strength, and attitude to physically dominate anyone across from him.  I think in 2 years he will be one of the top recruits in the country.

  1. This kid is not just big. He has athletic pedigree. His dad was a state 285 lb wrestling medalist. His uncle Fritz was a state wrestling champion (and has 2 other state medals). Another uncle is/was John Carr former Hanover (D2) state wrestling champ, All American wrestler for Wilkes (D1), and long time coach at Hanover Area. This kid will be a 5 star recruit.
