Quotes
"He is about as good as I ever coached. He played middle linebacker in the 4-3 defense. I saw one night he made 33 tackles and that is unheard of. He had great quickness, speed and toughness. He had everything a linebacker needed. He was a good guy to coach too. Mike Martin had a lot to do with coaching him. Mike developed him even though he didn't need much developing. I think we set practice around when he could get there after he was done farming. There has been some great players that have come out of the Lone Star Conference but he has to be one of the top players to ever come out of the Lone Star Conference." - Jim Hess, former ASU head football coach
