This kid could end up a real diamond-in-the-rough. Small town school invited to Fla & Fla St camps then an injury slows his progress in Sr. year. Just have a real good feeling about this young man.

It also makes you wonder if his time in the 40 was before or after he tweeked his ankle? He looks like he has a real high upside.

nice tackling

He doesn't look overly fast ... hard to tell on the video. However, I love the way he tackles.

Welcome Derrick! Sounds like a kid who is going to develop.
