He took coaching really well and could really handle the ball. Having played catch with (quarterback) Kevin (Moore) all his life it wasn't much more than just a switch of the roles.

Because the average daily attendance is closer to our I think we have a greater chance of success.

It's just a better fit logistically for everyone.

His success comes from playing as much as he did his junior year when he really wasn't ready.

He has a tremendous passion for the game. He got everything out of the ability he has.

He was fast enough to play end but not linebacker. But he dedicated himself all year to getting faster and quicker.

He's just a really good athlete. We had holes we needed to fill on the defensive line and we felt like he could do the job for us and he did.

We thought he had a chance to be a good one back when he was on the sophomore team. What made him a great receiver was his ability to do things after he caught the ball.
