The Rise of the House of Stewart

Today, larger-than-life offensive guard Chris Stewart, the behemoth of Klein (TX), made it official that he will be busting skulls for the blue and gold come next season. Stewart is, by all objective accounts, a monster of a man. Checking in at 6 foot 5, and somewhere between 340 and 360 pounds (per the two recruiting services who had the audacity to weigh him), Stewart is a house, a total eclipse, a forklift. His Junior year, he pancake blocked fifty-plus hapless souls to whom The House Rock Built extends their deepest condolences (including, we're guessing, poor number 87 in this picture).

Let's take a minute to let this percolate. An eighteen year old high school senior who clocks in at one-sixth of a ton. Maybe this isn't registering with you, so let us elucidate this point. Here are some other things that you could line up as Right Guard that would be equivalent to the mountain of man meat that Stewart brings to the table:
