What a nice guy. I met him while we were both watching a UL football practice.

He has transfered in from Northwestern (never played there) will sit out a year and should be a playmaker in 2005

He played for Lafayette and was mostly a DB but in at least one game he rushed for 200 yards while filling in for Caleb Ruben when Caleb got hurt. The guy is an athlete and a very nice person to boot.
