Apparently he ran a hand timed 10.38 in the 100 Meters recently. That is flying. At 6 foot and 210 lbs, He might be an asset at safety or running back and not linebacker. Give this kid a red shirt season and see where you want to put him.

He's going to be a linebacker.

He's going to be Alex Grace, linebacker.

He's a great athlete, but we need him to play linebacker.

Another piece of the puzzle and following the same trend. Bigger, faster, more athletic, multi talented. Think about what a good thing it is that we can even debate which of three positions he could best play. And offense-defense. Two way player throwback?

Coach has said he gives extra credit for two-way and multi sport recruits.

Extra credit during the recruiting process.

Who on our team plays on both sides? No one.

That was a great pass and catch. Athletes that can play multiple positions become threats in several ways. It seems as though PJ has recruited those type of players. Cubit seemed to have done the same when at Western.

It is fun watching the team pull off the so called "trick" plays to mix up the offense. However, are they really trick plays when skilled players who can pass, run, and catch are in those positions?
