In 2019, he and Zavier Betts were the 2 top HS recruits in NE. At the time, I had a tough time keeping the 2 straight given how similar their names were, but we clearly landed the wrong one.

Ummmm... this quote says a lot about how the young man's career will elevate at the next level:

"Previous Nagurski award winners include Warren Sapp, Charles Woodson, Champ Bailey, Dan Morgan, Terrell Suggs, Derrick Johnson, Brian Orakpo, Luke Kuechly, Aaron Donald, Bradley Chubb, Josh Allen and Chase Young."
