Wait for it.

Awesome. Welcome aboard.
I notice he is an OT...any chance this is the kid who becomes our LT of the future? IIRC, that's the one position where Zook isn't sure we've got somebody to take over for Fulton. |

That would be Corey Lewis.

Even without Hall, the '08 and '09 recruits give us a pretty solid two deep for the future, just from those two OL classes:
RT Graham Pocic, Tyler Sands RG Leon Hill, Ryan Sedlacek C Jake Feldmeyer LG Andrew Carter, Jeff Allen LT Corey Lewis, Hugh Thornton Add the many '07 redshirts to this list and any '09, '10 recruits and we'll have as much depth on the OL as we've ever had. :dance I wish I could say the same about the linebacker position. :cry |

Incredible story.
I would have rooted for this kid no matter where he ended up: super amazing that I get to root for him on our team. What a great kid. |
