He's our most physical blocker. He's a dangerous kid with the ball in his hands, although we haven't been able to get it to him as much as we'd like. For him to come back from the knee injury he had – he suffered that injury fairly late last year and was ready to go at the start of this season. There are never any off-the-field issues, his academics are always in line and football is important to him. He's going to leave here as the benchmark by which future fullbacks will be measured. We'll be looking for an Ed Pavalko."
