This kid epitomizes what we're looking for. David did decide to play football. He worked hard and was eager to be out there. He tore his ACL in the third or fourth game, and it was tough. But he dedicated himself to our football team and what we were trying to do.

[Marquette's] another one of those guys who hasn't had a tremendous amount of football experience, but we're working on getting him tougher, and we're real pleased with how well he's been responding.

I'm here to play football.

It was a misunderstanding. It's football. A lot of guys get into arguments. It's in the past. I don't hold grudges.

(Jeffers) did a good job of contacting and coming to a lot of our games. He developed a good relationship with a lot of our players and with our staff.

Co-Lin has done an excellent job of communicating with all of our kids. They've come over several times and started building a relationship with us and the players. Most of the kids have the opportunity to play at the next level at Co-Lin, and it give them another chance to get that look and get re-recruited.
