Coaches comments: OUSTANDING TALENT – GREAT TEAMMATE & LEADER – Hard-worker, dedicated to his team and his teammates – makes the players around him better and has a great skill set… Loves to play the game and works hard in preparation – has become a student of the game – lots of hours spent on film and in practice to produce the numbers he has generated the last 2 seasons… Great kid and a joy to coach — always willing to put in the extra time to make himself, his team and the program better… very proud of his efforts so far and looking forward to another outstanding year as a senior…
