He is a great athlete. I knew last year he had the ability on and off the field to make it in college.

It's a hugely critical game for us, a must win if you want to call it that. This district is too tough as it is without going 0-3 to begin the district schedule.

He's the fastest guy we got. When they called the time out, it was like get in there.

I would have liked him to play at wide receiver, running reverses and catching the ball. He could have been an All-State receiver. But he wasn't selfish. If we would have needed an offensive tackle, he probably would have done that too.

It was a lot different from last year's game.

I wish he'd stick to the script more. But when you have that type of athlete, nine out of 10 times when he does things like that he's going to help you.

It shows that if you play here, work hard and you have a chance to make it to college. I think it can only help.

It was tough to lose 20 seniors that helped the resurgence of the program. They helped us win a playoff game and it will be hard to replace 13 starters on both sides of the ball.

He has the talent to play at any college level. Solomon fits what they need.
