Cougar linebackers some of the biggest in college football

September 11, 2015 12:00 AM
BYU linebackers are big boys. Cougar linebackers are among the biggest college linebackers in the country with an average height of 6-feet-2-and-a-quarter-inches and weight of 227 pounds. In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists the average 19-year-old male at 5-feet-9-and-a-half-inches tall and just 152 pounds. That's a 75-pound difference — or 10 large hams, 300 sticks of butter or 857 Twinkies.
