UL Spring Football: Patience pays off for Sails

[NewsCopy]

 UL - For those willing to listen, Undrea Sails has no interest in being the next Tyrell Fenroy for UL's football team.

Now don't misunderstand. The senior running back knows the laundry list of collegiate accomplishments for Fenroy, who finished as the all-time leading rusher in school, state and Sun Belt Conference history. Fenroy also became only the seventh player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive years, was a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award and was the Sun Belt's Player of the Year.

With Fenroy now preparing to earn a spot in the NFL, Sails has emerged as the favorite to start in the backfield for the Cajuns next fall. He's fully aware of that challenge in front of him.

I'm looking forward to seeing he and Yobes Walker sharing the load. Both powerful guys, but both with somewhat different skill sets. Obviously we'll miss Tyrell, but those two should keep things interesting.

Sails has almost gotten lost in the hype shadows. It is great to see him, a senior, rising to the top of the list. That is a big plus for a young (gameday experience-wise) set of skill players.

I agree, I'm also putting Robert Walker in that rotation a bit as he will be our biggest homerun threat along with possibly Javon Lawson

Rob was on the filed at the scrimmage last Saturday morning. Getting a head start.
