This young man is a leader of men with a future in tackle football coaching or as a captain of industry or in the military. He is a linebacker at TCU, a transfer from Navy, and this is what he had to say in the aftermath of the explosion of Neon Deion in Fort Worth last weekend:
"I guess you can say it's a wake-up call. I don't know how losing in the national championship by 60 isn't a wake-up call. Right now we're definitely the laughingstock of college football. Having 22 missed tackles, having who knows how many missed assignments, making our defensive coordinator look awful, just making his defense look like it's a childhood kids' defense and him getting all this slack ... So if it's not a wake-up call, then I don't know what it is.
"It's very, very upsetting that our defensive coordinator has to take all this slack when he did nothing but tell us exactly what was going to happen and put us in situations in practice that mocked the game and we weren't able to take what he told us and bring it on the field on Saturday.
"I don't think it's too hard to go find videos on social media of people just not willing to put their bodies on the line," he said. "That's something that we will not let happen again at the school as long as I'm here.
