Brunswick School head coach Michael Hannigan — whose Bruins squad fell to Choate Rosemary Hall last year, 20-7, on Oct. 5 — was unsurprisingly taken aback by Bounds’ size when the two clubs squared off last year.

Hannigan also explained that Bounds not only carries his 280 pounds incredibly well, but is also in shape and doesn’t just simply excel because he’s bigger than everyone else.
