TCU 455-pound freshman nicknamed 'Big Bubba' going viral as expected 'fan favorite' this season

Brione Ramsey-Brooks hasn’t played a down for the TCU Horned Frogs yet, but he just might be their most famous player at the start of the new college football year.

Ramsey-Brooks, standing at 6-feet-5-inches, and weighing 455 pounds, has been taking social media by storm with his shocking size and highlights from high school play that just seems unfair.

Nicknamed "Big Bubba," the South Oak Cliff High School, Texas, recruit is set for his freshman season at TCU, where he hopes to compete for a spot on the offensive line.

~snip~

Ramsey-Brooks was rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports, ranking as the No. 108 interior offensive lineman in the country and No. 235 overall prospect in the state of Texas. He's not expected to start for TCU this season, according to FOX 4 News.

He was a big reason for South Oak Cliff winning the Texas 5A D-II state championship the last two seasons. He was also named Texas 5A first-team all-state by the Texas Sportswriters Association.

It will be an uphill climb for Ramsey-Brooks, though, as he is not expected to be starting the Horned Frogs’ first game against the Deion Sanders-coached Colorado Buffaloes this year.

What’s he do the 40 in?

If he’s not quick on his feet, they could stunt him, and he’d be blocking air.

Can he do a 40?

He needs to lose 140 lbs to weigh the same as Tony Boselli, 5 time NFL Pro Bowler…

Big Bubba needs to find a tent maker to make his jerseys.

XXXXXXX Large. Every pic I see of him - he is constricted by those regular XXXL jerseys.

It’s irresponsible for coaching not to be addressing it immediately.
They might be. It says he’s not expected to start.
