The first thing you need to know about Phillip Garcia is that he’s a big dude. The Arizona Wildcats senior right tackle is 6 feet 7 inches tall. He’s 330 pounds. I’m guessing he has the largest hat size of anyone I’ve ever known.
A big dude.
He took a seat in front of a reporters Monday and starting talking about Iowa’s defensive line and how they compare to other defenders he’s seen. That’s when the big dude couldn’t stop saying “Big dude.”
Yes, Iowa’s defensive line — rated No. 1 in the nation in the preseason by Lindy’s College Football Annuals — has a lot of big (and, oh yeah, really, really good) dudes.
“They’re big, strong physical guys,” Garcia said.
Takes one to know one?
