The kid really is special. He was only a sophomore this year I believe. Don't quote me on that, possibly a junior. When I on the staff there we knew he was going to be something special. He has an amazing leg. We were discussing getting him to start kicking without a tee by his senior year so he'd be even more intriguing to the college scouts. I wasn't there this season so I'm not sure what's going on with him as far as recruiting, but he'll be playing for someone big one day. He's also a heck of a baseball player. His older brother was the anchor of the offensive line in '07 and won a few state titles, 2 really great kids.
