Two time all state and all time leading tackle leader for over a decade. Those are stats not an opinion. 

And like the son, undersized. You cannot outrun genetics even with the obvious chemical aid. The measurables are what they are at the Power 5 level.

99.9% of the time major colleges will not recruit someone if they don’t pass the look test.  What someone does on the field is great but to play in a major college program the measurables (size & speed) must meet certain criteria. This is why I tell most of the high school kids to focus more on the academic side and then go play at Sewanee or Rhodes.  If they are really smart maybe one of the Ivy League schools will recruit them.  It’s all about how one finishes and not where someone starts.  A great degree from an excellent academic institution should translate into a stable and well paying job.

You’re a good poster, and know me, so in all fairness to the family I think your post isn’t appropriate. Lots of hard work and sacrifices for the kid and his parents so I hope he kills it at Oakland. It makes me think about all that we do as parents. This is my last year of HS sports as a dad and I’ve made so many mistakes over the years with all three of my kids Im now just hoping they have fun and don’t get hurt. Even my daughter with all her injuries  makes me wish I’d made so many different decisions during her HS career and even with her college choice. Now, our youngest will hopefully create great lifetime memories this year. You know him and he’s a fun guy to cheer for because he’s the “Rudy” of DCA football because he’s never lacked courage or effort. He’s just a genuinely nice kid, not perfect but nice guy. Thinking about his journey makes me hope Jones and his family have an amazing year too because this is it for HS. I think Jones deserves that.

that LA/BA game was already going to be something else with beasley and jimcoily VS mcintyre but yeah, this should be a fun new rivalry.  we gotta come up with a name...the dog fight on granny white?  i'll leave it up to the writers...

Wow tough day for the kid who started the scrimmage vs PCHS Friday night and has been listed previously  as one of the top 10 QBs in the state heading into the season.

i was thinking the same thing.  he seems like a good kid by all accounts.

[Indian]

Maybe he can transfer.

When attending one of the D2 schools taking part in the HS transfer portal just know there is always someone better out there that can come and do the same thing to your kid.  Hopefully the LA Sr Qb is prepared to fight for the job.
