Then again, it’s not often that you hear about high school sophomores that are this big. Walter Brantley of Phoebus High School is already 6-3 and tipping the scales at 330 pounds. His combination of size, footwork and agility is turning the heads of college coaches. That’s going to happen more frequently over the rest of this year.
