Meet TCU's 455-pound freshman lineman who's taking the internet by storm

TCU is making a big addition to its football roster for the 2023 season. Literally.

Offensive lineman Brione Ramsey-Brooks is one member of the Horned Frogs' freshman class. And while he may not be among the highest-rated prospects entering college football, he's already becoming a fan favorite.

That's because of Ramsey-Brooks' mind-blowing measurables that are listed on TCU's website: 6-foot-5 and 455 pounds.

A recent social media post from TCU podcaster Stephen Simcox about Ramsey-Brooks' size went viral, leaving college football fans in awe.
