Coaches Q&A with JC Keefer:
Will he play more at receiver this year?
“Last year he would rotate in at receiver. But this year he will be the guy. He has great hands and can jump.”
What are his strengths on defense?
“He is a great open field tackler. He is our best tackler. You don’t want to catch a slant in front of him. Because he will pop you. He is our most physical tackler on the team. You can’t teach aggressiveness. That is just something that is in a kid and he is not afraid and is fearless. He has great hips and great technique. When he tackles someone he never goes backwards. They always go the other way.
