Arkadelphia Coach JR Eldridge:

“He’s one of the best all-around, natural football players I’ve ever coached. He’s good on offense, he’s good on defense, he’s good on special teams. I think this year he’s really been able to show how good he is offensively because he’s been our featured back. I think he leads the state in touchdowns right now with over 30 touchdowns.

“He leads by example. He’s going to get every set of every rep in the weight room. He stays longer than everybody to get better at what he does and he’s very, very coachable. He’s a fun football player to coach.”
