“It’s like you can’t get into his head. He just has a reset button no matter what. If he messes up, reset to the next play. Makes a play? Forgets about it and moves on. He’s mechanical, he knows what he’s doing, and he’s confident in himself. That’s what you’ve got to do.”

Luke Grimm Kansas wide receiver

“I feel like he has no ceiling. I feel like he gets better every week. He’s a great guy and by the time he leaves here he’s going to be one of the best.”

Ricky Thomas Kansas defensive back
