They Said It

“He’s tall, he’s big, he’s strong, he’s athletic, he’s got technical skill. He’s extremely confident as a player now because he’s done all that work, and he was just ready to go come this summer to show coaches what he’s really all about.”

“He’s a great student. He’s humble but confident, and it couldn’t have happened to a better kid, a better young man, and, really, a great family as well. So it’s been awesome to be part of his journey and to see a young athlete who has earned it reap those rewards. I think this is just the start for him. I think he’s got the ability and talent to really continue to take it to the next level as well, so we’re excited for his future.” — Chris Sailer

Scouting Report

“I’ve got him No. 1 in the country, so there’s a reason for that, and generally it’s because everything he does is a strength. To be number one, you really shouldn’t have a weakness…Obviously, mentally, we believe he’s going to be strong. That’s why we have him there. He’s proven it time and time again, but he’s gifted technically, he’s worked so hard to get there. He’s strong on field goal, very consistent. He’s got great range… And then kickoffs, he’s, without question a Top 3 guy in the country, without a doubt, when it comes to just the overall hanging distance on his kickoffs. And then, he wins competitions. He steps up amongst the best players.” — Chris Sailer
