To the man that had the most profound impact on my life @CoachLouHoltz88, may you rest in peace ☘️💛💙

@CFBONFOX How are families supposed to empathize with D1 coaches upset about the portal and “tampering” when the profession has, in just a few years, walked away from the development, loyalty, and pipeline culture it preached to high school families for decades? Empathy cuts both ways

Played everywhere this year: inline, slot, H-back.  It was a whatever the team needed season. A lot of tough catches in tight windows, a lot of hard-earned yards, and tons of creating spaces for our backs.

Offseason work underway: working on cleaner movement, controlled decel + burst, and more efficient COD in tight space. One rep at a time, stacking habit with the best crew!
