“He’s just a class kid all the way. Not only is he a great kid on the field, but a great kid off the field. He’s kind of an extension of a coach on the field. This has been one of the best classes we’ve had, and led by him, we have gotten to be able to go to places that we’ve only dreamed of. He understands the right way to do it.” — Coach Tom Curry
