Nickoe Whitley is the hardest hitter we have had at State in a long time.

I still believe his hit at Aubarn was legit and didn't lead to the head, it was shoulder to shoulder.

He's going to get flagged for a lot of legal hits because they are so viscous. It's the nature of the sport now, I saw a few very questionable personal fouls called for legal hits yesterday. 10 years ago they would have just been good hits, today they are unnecessary roughness.

I agree the Auburn call was crap too. But as was just said, the nature in how he arrives will get him flagged. I think it affects those receivers though. Footsteps big time.

agreed, i love this kid.

the wife and i watched him in high school. after seeing one game his Jr year at Clinton, i knew he'd be special. kid playing both ways in 5A(before 6a) ball.

he played safety and QB for them.

Pig Prather and Ashley Cooper have been unseated. He is a true talent that flew under the radar in highschool due to injury and he has very good hands. He is a lock for the NFL. I just wish we had a pass rush so his productivity would be even higher preying on receivers who are about to catch the ball too soon.</p>
