Do Not Redshirt Tim Settle

Of all the true freshman getting looks from the coaching staff, there are none larger than Tim Settle. At 359 pounds, Settle makes a big impression wherever he goes. Andy Bitter of the Roanoke Times spoke with Coach Frank Beamer about Settle, and Frank offered this: ""You don’t want to try to out-run him," Frank Beamer said. "I’m impressed.

Needs to get stronger and get some weight off, but he’ll do that.
