Trinity Christian Academy RB Nahshon Ellerbe was on NPR this morning with his mother being interviewed about football. Asked about injury risks and off the field issues that have been so common with NFL and college recently. He's very well spoken.

NPR: Rising Football Star Prepare For The Worst Pray For The Best

Even by internet comment standards this was pretty ridiculous:

"Welcome to the Radical Left's "New American Soviet Man" template for their war on manhood. In this ComIntern nightmare males no longer are allowed to learn the rituals that provide the future security of themselves or country. Make no mistake about it, Progs are determined to defeat every society that adheres to traditional values and substitute their vision of creating the Utopia where the State is the arbiter of every activity and all comrades are informants."

Good grief.

But yes, looks like a guy we'll be proud to call an Owl.

Just to clarify for the benefit of anyone that didn't read through the article and user commentary below it, those are not the words of the new recruit. Just some idiot commenting on the story on NPR's website.

But, yes, I think he will represent Rice very well.

Yes, sorry, thanks for the clarification.

I usually avoid comments sections because they inevitably make me despair for the future of the human race, but I thought maybe we'd see some Rice love in these...
