In his words: "It all starts with the line. They're the ones that allowed me to have the success that I had. And I've got great coaches, a great running backs coach who's been with us for four years, and he's taught me all he can teach me up to this point."
In His Coach's Words: "He's the centerpiece of our offense. Everything we've done has been through him this year. He's been a leader on our offense, and he's done a great job of handling that load for us. He's the heart and soul of our offense." - Beauregard Coach Smitty Grider
