His time in the forty was listed at 4.46 sec. in high school.

Ah man... I think we have found our next punt returner! Nice!!

Stockpiling speed. It's going to always be important. Welcome, Lewis!

Good to see that we are not strictly going after size at WR, and are still getting a blend of both.

Nice addition. Recruiting via the transfer portal has gone very well for us. It will be very interesting to see the impact these players have this year.

Ike recently said TIGERNATION was not finished adding Dudes
This Dude is fast and he can separate, look for the DEEP BALL
Working on one more Dude, 50 50 but if ie joins TIGERNATION, this Dude can do it to it.

With him and Austen in the line-up going to see a lot of zone. Route precision will be at a premium. This should help the new QB if he is on the same page with his receivers. When opponents go man Dykes, and Watkins will carve them up. GoTigersGo.

Welcome!
