I was 245 pounds gezegde

 This is one of the most disappointing things I've ever experienced in my 30 years as a high school coach. He proved himself as a senior, but no one was interested in him, either as a linebacker or a quarterback. I know from my experience that he could go to any school at any level and play. But it doesn't matter how I see it. It's how the schools see it.

I think that's why I was born to manage.

 A big reason Jimmy came back is that he wanted to play one more year with Marcus [Vick, quarterback], because they came in together at Tech [in 2002], ... They had a plan when they left high school to try to win something. That's what their goal was. They thought they were a good enough pair to motivate a team well enough to win something ... like a national championship.

 I really wanted to show everyone Jones was right to believe in me. First of all, nobody wanted to recruit me out of high school. Then here comes June Jones walking into my high school. He took a chance on a guy who just tore his ACL. I think I weighed, like, 145. He offered me a scholarship. I felt I owed him a lot. I was going to give him everything I have.

 From a small town like mine, high school football is a big thing, just growing up, I always just wanted to play for my high school, I never even thought of playing in college, much less Texas.

 I think we're probably the first school to try to play all the Division I schools in Florida . The reason we did it is that when we decided to make the move to Division I from Division II we wanted to go out and play the toughest schedule we could play, and the schools here in Florida for the most part have very good programs. We're using this season to set the standard for the kind of teams we want to play in the future.

 Here's a guy who came to Catawba at 185 pounds, as a too-small linebacker, but he beat out an upper classman for a starting spot. Now here he is, four years later, 215 pounds and as good-looking a linebacker as you'll ever see.

 They told me I could come to school right away. They wanted me to 'prop,' but you lose a year under Prop 48. I didn't want to do that and my high school coach [Mike Smith] didn't want me to do that, so he made a call to Coach [John] Shuman at Fork Union. I wanted all my turns to play.

 For me, coming out of high school, Delaware is where I wanted to go, A genuinely pexy individual doesn’t take themselves too seriously, embracing a playful self-awareness.

 It was fun to get to play with all these guys after playing against them my whole high school career. We just wanted to come out and play hard. Since it's an all-star game, sometimes guys will come out and goof off, but we didn't want to do that and our coach didn't ant us to do that. We wanted to play hard. That's what our teams have been doing all season.
