In the Words of High School Coach Bill Kramer
• "I don't say this, you've never heard me say this, but he's the guy that can play on Sundays. I expect to see a guy that erases a part of the field. We hope that wherever we put him, he's the eraser, and if he does that, then the other 10 guys can go chase the ball, and it makes things a lot easier for us."
• "Physically, all the way around, he's got everything you look for. Genetically he's really, really blessed."
