He had one big play in particular... it was either a huge hit or an interception... maybe it was both! haha
Correct me if I'm wrong here H&G, but from what I've heard, seen, and know about Eugene, I would (unfortunately) compare him favorably to Prescott Burgess. Same sort of size and attributes, same sort of athleticism, almost same positions too (though not sure if Burgess was a KR/ PR/WR)! Hopefully that comparison doesn't jinx us, because I would love to see this kid lining up for us.
Get this kid in S&G, H&G!!  |
I would say that is a fair assesment. (Eugene had an INT in that Tyler Lee game and several big hits, btw) Eugene is a physical football player and I think its a bonus for somebody to be so gifted as an athlete and still love the contact.
also..after Colerain's game last night I couldn't catch up to Eugene but I finally tracked down some 'info' on him from reliable sources...
Eugene, right now, would like the opportunity to consider being a Florida Gator...but those close to him say he wants his mom to see him play every week and that travel will be a concern...fully expect this to become another
OSU/tsun battle.
FYI...Gene picked off another pass last night and took it to the house.
