AJ getting some press

I sure would love to see AJ have a breakout year and great career. Like someone mentioned in another thread, his recruitment ranking was way underrated because he committed early to us, and I think in part because of where he played HS football. There was no doubt watching him though that he was by far the best athlete on the field in every game of probably his last 2 HS seasons.

Washington County football has a pretty good rep in the state. We have a walkon from there coming in this year, last name Brooks. Would love to see something where AJ could get his hands on the ball. Maybe use a little at wideout.

Coach at Washington County had AJ doing everything on the field - offense and defense. He was everywhere. Now that he is focused on a position, he will be a monster.

He is gonna be getting the ball on pick 6's and fumbles he picks up when he destroys a ball carrier.
 
State player of the year, but not a 5 star. Others were rated at 5 star, but not POTY. :bsflag:
 
Also a Parade All-American. If he was at an SEC factory, he'd have been 5*.
 
Word from a friend who watched him play HS FB and Basketball is that AJ has a sense for where the ball will be and gets there first. His observation watching basketball was that he seemed to be where the opposing point guard was passing before the opponent had made his pass. I hope I described that well enough. That kind of ball sense seems is something a player either has or doesn't. He is a fun player to watch.

Seemed at times like Jamal Golden had that sense. Now that he's gone, it's good to know we have another player with that type of instinct.
 
Wish CPJ had just reeled that comment in just a little bit before he made it.

Its not that AJ doesn't deserve it but why raise the bar that high on the kid?

Now, its all about living up to that comment.

Also, as a footnote, interesting that the story, from an outlet in the kid's backyard, didn't have a single tidbit to add to the story. Wonder which Bulldwag reporter drew the short draw to write even that much.

That comment's not just to praise him, but to light a fire under some other players' asses.
 
this kid is the real deal...........he reminded me of Nesbitt when he was in High School but he is lot more smoother than Josh.He has it all and the great thing is he is a team player.He also has size and speed to play NFL as a Strong Safety but hope we dont hurt him by playing him both ways....He is the best we have recruited in last eight years.....he is a good un
