[Hoot Gibson]

Saw this kid out of uniform at the state track meet and was surprised at how small he is. You also have to look at his yardage numbers a little closer, because he did run up a lot of yards agianst bad teams and was in games when the outcome in the game was already decided. The kid is a good RB, but just saying the numbers are a little padded. I also saw Elliot (Ryle) at track meets this year and have to say that he is built like a brick sh--house (and I am not a fan of this kid, but have to give him credit for hitting the weight room).

State wrestling champs who are D1 prospects spend their fair share of time in the weight room. I doubt that many players in the state come close to matching the time that Jude spends preparing for wrestling and football.

If you watch Jude play much, then you must know that he plays as hard on defense as offense and he hardly ever comes out of a game. Yet, he finishes games with the same all out effort as he starts them. More often than not, he physically wears down defensive players in platoon systems.
