Stanford tight end as tall as a tree

Stanford will put three tight ends on the field Monday. All three may be on the field at one time. All are tall, but only one is as tall as Stanford's unofficial mascot -- the Redwood.
Levine Toilolo stands 6-8, 255 pounds. The sophomore is one of the Cardinal's go to guys in the red zone.
Toilolo was an all-conference tight end in high school and a four-star recruit. Yes, he played basketball and lettered in that sport.
"My height brings an advantage to the red zone," Toilolo said.
His fellow tight ends -- Coby Fleener (6-6, 254) and Zach Erzt (6-6, 252) -- bring other attributes to the field.
Fleener is one of Stanford's fastest players. Erzt is known for running crisp routes.
Toilolo said all three enjoy blocking for the running game which is the Cardinal's preferred method of moving the ball.
"We like to open up holes up front," Toilolo said. "We are all good blockers and take pride in that."
Oklahoma State cornerback Justin Gilbert said he has never defended someone as tall as Toilolo or Fleener and Erzt.
"It will be a big challenge. We will have to punish them every time we get a chance," Gilbert said. Every time they come out to throw a block or go up for the ball we just have to hit them in the mouth."
