Quote Of The Day
“He’s always been a great leader for us. He’s played a variety of positions for us. He’s always had that motor and twitch. As a freshman, he played some middle linebacker and defensive end. He always played fullback for us. No matter where he is on the field, you can see him and, more often than not, you can hear him. You hear pads popping, helmets colliding or a gigantic collision. Often times, it’s someone being a recipient of Owen Wafle. He sets the tone for us. As he grew and got larger and stronger, he never lost that twitch. He got faster and faster. He has a unique body type. He is a shorter defensive tackle in that 6-foot-2 range, but he has elite arm length. He can out-leverage anybody and has long enough arms to play with anybody. He’s so fast and powerful.”
