Thomas Welch has told his teammates on the Vanderbilt offensive line that he was once a lean, mean quarterback at nearby Brentwood High.
Not everyone is buying his sales pitch.
"I can't believe that," senior center Bradley Vierling said. "That's what I hear. He can still throw the ball a little bit, but I like his hand on the ground."
Welch was the Bruins' quarterback as a junior but he spent his senior season as a 6-foot-7, 220-pound tight end/defensive end in 2004.
As he readies for his senior year at Vanderbilt, he weighs 310 pounds. He has moved from tight end to right tackle to left tackle since arriving on campus.
