Obviously a smart kid if you have the likes of Cornell and Dartmouth recruiting you. Not sure how many of those "recruited by" came with offers as well...but Wake was no slough this year.

Even if you are not behind the direction of the program, I think you have to admit this is a nice story. And faster than 4.4 speed is hard to come by.

I always like the pictures of the athlete with their parent(s) or guardian(s). Look at the father on the right, he looks like he's about to cry he's so proud. And deservedly so, young man with a 4.1 GPA, 12 college credits from a JUCO while in high school and highly competitive runner. Nice work, dad.

I know that I have been particularly critical lately but this is great stuff. TU football has so often been about finding overlooked talents and formation of young people.
Agreed, and you can't teach that type of speed. I'd be interested in what his vertical is based on that pic where he's extended to make that catch. A little light at this time, but type in the weight room and training table should add what's needed to his 6'1" frame to make him durable. This young man could turn out to be another of those hidden gems this staff seems to have a knack for finding.
