Defensive coordinator Brian Maupin:
“Great kid, great family. He leads the state in tackles now. He’s a kid that finds his way to the ball. Extremely physical. Wants to be coached. He has a rare nose for the ball. He’s not the fastest kid on the field, but he’s always going to be just kind of in the right spot. He has a real nose for the ball. Plays just seem to gravitate toward him and that’s always been the mark of a great linebacker. You can’t always explain it but the play always seems to be around him.
“He’s a great leader. He does his own little private workout every night and sends me a text when he’s done just for accountability. He said, ‘Coach, I don’t text you. I’m running a mile the next day every day.’ He’ll text me about 8:45- 9 o’clock at night. That’s just the kind of kid he is.”
