Who is he? A 6-1, 219-pound senior.
He said it: "The offense struggled just a little bit, so when I was going on the field, I told the defensive team that if we have to win the game with defense, we're going to do it. I just wanted to go through with all of that, and pick up for the offense."
Coach said it: "He's done exceptionally well. He was the one making the stops whenever North Dallas was making their run." –Charles Deville
