FILE - In this Nov. 25, 2016 file photo, Washington State offensive lineman Cody O'Connell (76) moves to provide protection for quarterback Luke Falk (4) during an NCAA college football game against Washington, in Pullman, Wash. When Cody O’Connell was a senior he was literally the biggest man on the campus of Wenatchee High School. At 6-foot-8 and more than 300 pounds at the time, few that could see eye-level with the massive O’Connell. Except this one kid. A sophomore named Trey Adams. Five years later, the former high school teammates are now two of the best offensive linemen in the country: Adams at No. 8 Washington and O’Connell at No. 24 Washington State. (AP Photo/Ted S.
