As the new year has arrived, here's a no-context reminder from college aged Coach Vera and 50 Cent to any high school athletes trying to message me their tape.

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

Earned it! Just being real, some kids get their offers for winning the genetic lottery in height despite subpar play. I get why, but that being said...

This kid will put your favorite 6'4+ lineman in the dirt 9 times outta 10 🤷🏻

After a great camp and a good conversation with @CooperGosch I’m blessed to receive my 1st offer from @SewaneeFootball. Thank you @CooperGosch and @CoachFreitag for this opportunity! @GautierFB @Coastfootball @COACHMARCHIGH @CoachHollis58 @SebvVera @Coach_HCollins

@KojoyDesu @MarcusPlaysStuf @IhateMerkel22 Wow, God Hand propagandist

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@MarcusPlaysStuf @IhateMerkel22 Same my guy, I got it and implemented it with another symbol I connected with and two years later it's everywhere I go 😮‍💨 hopefully those strugglers were positively impacted by it like we were tho!

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@RefinedPopulist @jaojaobinx Then that too shall pass, and lives will continue unchanged. All is well, populist

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@RefinedPopulist @jaojaobinx Then you shouldn't. Now everything is alright.

[Jim “Mouse” McNally @CoachMcNallyOL]

EXCELLENT ANGLE C

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

Kid is the real deal! One of the strongest high school defensive linemen in the state of Mississippi!

[Landon Beasley @LBeasley_]

225 for 14! Wanna get it up to 20 by August! @CoachHollis58 @COACHMARCHIGH @Coach_HCollins @SebvVera @Coastfootball @GautierFB

Lore accurate 🤣

The other day i was crunching the numbers on physical characteristics of my Offensive Lines the first four years of my high school coaching career.

1st year (2022)
Avg. Height: 6’2
Avg. Weight: 301
Season outcome: South State (semi-final round) appearance

2nd year (2023)
Avg. Height: 5'9 (rounded up)
Avg. Weight: 241
Season outcome: South State (semi-final round) appearance

3rd year (2024)
Avg. Height: 5'9 (rounded up)
Avg. Weight: 242
Season outcome: State Championship appearance

4th year (2025)
Avg. Height: 5'9 (rounded up)
Avg. Weight: 255
Season outcome: losing season

I crunched these numbers to see what my lines generally looked like from one year to the next.

Overall takeaways:

1. Always nice to have generational talent at the QB position (and somehow Gautier seems to have pumped out some of the best high school QB seasons seen on the Mississippi Coast for the past 10+ years, weird how that happens)

2. Size and weight help a lot, but to an extent. Too big = too slow. Too small while not being in good enough shape = not technique refined. We had a great year with 1500 lbs on the line, but we had success with lines that were 300 total pounds less too. Bigger size doesn't always mean better play.

3. Coachability is everything. That goes for me. Best statistical year I had as a Coach, I had help. My HC's son had some time off of work and was able to help out (I had 18-21 players on OL that year). Being able to split up groups and focus on smaller details with better time was awesome. Occasionally he would tell me things that he used during his time playing college ball that we could implement and it usually helped. Being open to collaboration and further learning is necessary from players, but your coaches too!

@lifeofdess___ @datgirlawkward @marg000 I think it's that he took enough pills to OD, and before purging he became obsessed with Nikki so he forgot about that, ran to her, and by that time the overdose started taking place.

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

It's easy to see more positive gains in certain lighting. Been trying to focus on building my arm mass while maneuvering around a weak left shoulder and recurring tennis elbow. Isn't a ton of improvement yet, but I'm starting to see a lil more when I flex and microscopically more mass when I'm just existing.

The goal might still be a mile away but I'm a few feet closer today than I was yesterday

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@kingfred91 @CarpetDinosaur @GhostOfAdamGase I agree. It's just strange to me how many folks in Miami are still obsessing over what our former QB is doing.

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@TheyWokeAmongUs @archivist42 @DJWarnerStage There's also zero subtlety to a lot of world issues

Young man clocks in! Trenches are hostile cause only so many mouths to feed, so only the hungry eat young man, stay hunting 💪

You're gonna see this kid break out this year, fyi

[Latrell pogue @LatrellPogue]

#AGTG I’m blessed to receive my second offer from @HindsCC_FB ✝️@coachmicahlewis @Coach_HCollins @CoachHollis58 @COACHMARCHIGH @SebvVera

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@LayneStaley1994 @hoodigainer A great secondary route tho, I dream of a world where colleges recognize that a 5'10-6'1 that puts in hella work in the weight room and utilizes his leverage with great technique can be just as dominant as a 6'7 freight train with limited mobility

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@LayneStaley1994 @hoodigainer Hey now, we differ heavily on basketball but being a 3 star is more than 98% of prospects out there out there get ranked! Were you a 6'5 freak athlete or 6'2 technician haha

[Coach Vera (O Line) @SebvVera]

@LayneStaley1994 @hoodigainer Yeah you're bad at this. Have a good one tho!
