He's one of those kids you can go to in a lot of different ways. He's able to make some nice catches and he's also able to run with the ball pretty hard. He's probably our most consistent running back, but at times he was our top receiver (last year). When you put those two together, not to mention having him return some punts and kickoffs back, he just brings a wide array of talents to the team.

We've got some pretty good kids coming back. Overall, numbers are just pretty thin.

It's huge. It's such a positive thing for everyone. For the kids involved especially, because they've been through some ups and downs.

Blake is coming in with some added maturity and he's been working pretty well. Each year he has improved, so we're looking for good things from him. He has a good idea of what we want to get done on offense. He has a good handle with it.
