Quote Of The Day
“He showed up here as a 14-year-old freshman. I kind of knew about him from youth leagues. We found out he lived up the street. Early on, you could tell he had the physical gifts. It was all about gaining the confidence to go up against older guys. He got some confidence builders in camp. Going from middle school to guys that have aspirations to play at the next level was a big transition for him. But when it came to the games, he played like a veteran. He plays tackle in high school and has the feet to play it in college. He’s not going to be forced to go inside. From conversations we’ve had with college coaches, they are recruiting him as a tackle.”
