Reflections of Spring Football 2009

In reflecting on the Spring season this year, I must say that it was an enjoyable one. Under the new leadership of Coach Manny Martin, I learned a lot switching from linebacker to safety. Coach Martin's defensive scheme allows me to float back and forth between the two positions.
During the Blue-Gray intersquad game, starting at Free Safety, I finished with 2 interceptions - one for a touchdown, a fumble recovery and 7 tackles.
In the Spring Game against Miami Norland, I lead the team in tackles with 9 total, 6 solo and a blocked field goal. Although I did okay in the Spring, I still have a lot of work to do over the summer to get prepared for my Junior Year Campaign.
