Kamari Lassiter: "He'll be a tremendous player no matter where they play him. He can play the nickel, slot, he can play safety, he can play corner. He's a ball hawk. He's super competitive. You know, some people have a knack for finishing and getting the ball out. That's one thing that he has a really good knack for; finishing on the ball and getting the ball out. Corners are hard to find. It's a throw-first league. So you got to find people that can cover man-on-man, and he has the ability to do that."

Brock Bowers: "Watch the tape. I mean, the tape speaks for itself. You know, nobody really asked about Brock because they've already seen it. They've been to our practices. They know what he can do. I mean, I don't think there are a lot of questions about Brock Bowers' toughness or ability."

Zion Logue:  "Toughness, culture builder, extreme effort. He's probably on every one of our tapes [that] we show the first day of practice of what we call "getting out of the stack", really covers down at a high level. He plays on field goal, P.A.T. He played in punt protection, so he can do a lot of things for a team."

William Mote: "Did you ever call his name for a bad snap? That's his job. And he did it. So he did exactly what he was supposed to do. The only time you know who the snapper is, or who the holder is, is when they mess up. And he's a tremendous athlete. I think he benched 225 17 times today. So he's a lot stronger than our other players. And he did a great job."

Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint: "Yeah, Marcus Rosemy is one of the toughest kids I've been around. [He] played through injury, had a horrific injury as a freshman, [and] bounced back from that. Total culture/team player, believes in the team first, never complained once about not getting the ball. Dominant on special teams. And I think that stuck out to a lot of these coaches here."

Ladd McConkey: "Nobody works harder than Ladd McConkey. And I think nobody on our team would say there's a better teammate than Ladd McConkey. I don't know that he's ever said a negative word about anybody. He's just such a good kid, he's such a hard person to find. And he's a great football player on top of that."
