    • I love this kids attitude, going to be a great Hawk and a great leader I think

    • Gotta love it, I thought he might have been in position to play ST's as a true freshman if he came in with everyone else in the fall, this just reinforces that opinion.

      If he can learn the D hell he could get some rotation middle/end of the year. LB is wide out after next year may as well prep some willing and able kids. I would like to see him put on 15 to 20 but he still has good size

      Yes indeed, his attitude is awesome. Not only his attitude, but he plays with great instincts, he's quick, able to disengage the defender, and relentleless. He clearly has "football speed". His comment about having people say he wasn't fast enough makes me think it must of been people judging him running on a track instead of game action, because that kid seems to get from point A to point B plenty fast enough for D-1. For defensive players, Instincts and drive are more important than just speed, IMO.

      I agree I am excited to see how he develops and how fast. I like him even more with how he has tried his best in helping recruit for us as well
