Official Weight and Height was 251 and 6'2" respectively. They didn't show any running drills. Only three pass plays that I saw him involved with. He missed a catch when the ball was overthrown. John David Booty of USC through a check down pass to Owen when he was split out and Owen caught it, turning up field for more. Matter of fact it was the last 7 on 7 play of the day. Worth the wait. Well done!!! He looks like he belongs. No shock to me. Reading ESPN's take I found this: "• Maybe the best attraction of the North practice was West Virginia FB Owen Schmitt. You wouldn't think that a semi-contact practice would show off the talents of a big, physical, mauling, blocking fullback and early on, it didn't as Schmitt showed that he is not a natural hand catcher and struggles to flip his hips in space and quickly get upfield. But the bruiser quickly became the North's quarterbacks' favorite target as a dump-off option. He made a nice catch during the seven-on-seven drills and several during the team period, including taking hits that twice took his helmet off to expose his Mohawk haircut. Since the quarterbacks did not yet have a feel for the deep passing game or great timing yet with their deeper options, Schmitt was the benefactor. "-Insider ESPN
