At most levels of high school football — and especially the Class 2A Division II level — a 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame will earn you a one-way ticket to the offensive line.
For one, that kind of size isn’t teachable or easily replaced. And most at that size possess skill sets best suited for line play.
Roscoe’s Parker Gleaton is the exception to the rule. With good speed and excellent coordination to go with his size, the senior has carved out his niche as a two-way star at tight end and defensive end. And while doing so has pulled down the average weight of RHS O-line by a few pounds, it’s made the Plowboys a much more difficult team to defend and prepare for on Friday nights.
