There was a lot of hype in the preseason about this freshman, and he did more than just live up to it. He was a weapon on both sides of the ball. Finding creative ways to get him the football was paramount, and his play free safety was fantastic. He will be a major force the next three years for the Pioneers, especially if he keeps growing. Great reaction skills already, and a natural quick twitch that will see him dominate the return game as well. Only the second time in five years that I’ve included a freshman on the Top 100 list.
