Let's break this down.

He'd have to take off 1 foot.  His actual vertical jump is probably in mid 30s.  His ROM helps clear the height.  Interestingly I have seen 12-13 year old boys straddle high jump up to 5-10 which is 4 inches higher.  Therefore it's not as impressive to me.

Do they weight 230 lbs?LOL  If he lost about 50 lbs, I think he would've got a higher jump, but he's a football player so thats not possible.
