Syracuse offers eighth grader who would be biggest player on 2018 football roster

The Syracuse Orange football program has been busy tossing out some future offers lately, but one (literally) stands above them all.

Kiyaunta Goodwin is a 6-foot-7, 370-pound lineman in EIGHTH GRADE right now. But the Louisville product has collected a ton of Power Five offers already -- Georgia, LSU, Louisville, Kentucky (plus Syracuse, most recently) — and figures to keep on growing, if doctors are to be believed. In a recent Bleacher Report piece, there are thoughts he could grow beyond seven feet tall. Does Jim Boeheim need a center for 2022?
