They always miss out on big time talent in Sparta. I think the biggest reason is bias from the media, Sparta is not close to any of the major markets like Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga or Memphis, we have always had great players get shunned for all state, all region and so forth because the media controls that crap just like in college and pro sports. I don't jump to the NFL conclusion just yet but he is going to make someone a heck of a college football player. I have definitely seen less talented players in power 5 conferences. Just like on the streaming broadcast last week they were talking about the Bogus kid from SC had power 5 offers? Malaki made him look average, he makes everyone look average he plays against. He is about 5'10" and 175-180 pounds and strong as a bull and he has the natural body lean and the natural ability to stick his foot in the ground and cut on a dime without slowing down. if you haven't seen him live you're in for a treat. He is humble and a great kid and every team has kids talk smack to him and all he does is rack up yards and touchdowns. Your middle linebacker has been heckling him for weeks on social media. That is not a smart idea lol, talk is talk, having to face him is something else entirely. Win or loose they wont ever forget his name, that I guarantee.
