In the Words of...
• "Milton is everything Coach Harbaugh has ever wanted. Harbaugh loves alphas. He loves guys who aren't afraid to get into a fist fight. With Joe, he's going to go in, take the curriculum, break it down and immerse (Milton) in it. This is absolutely, 100 percent Harbaugh's type of kid. It's a perfect match." - Steve Clarkson
