Q: I had a chance to see Freddie Lenix this past weekend, and I have never seen an athlete play with so much reckless abandon. I hear that he is getting overlooked at the next level because of his size. He's in the tweener category . . . not quite a linebacker and too big to be a safety. Are these college recruiters nuts? What's the latest that you've heard about his chances at the next level?

- Will Halsey, West Park

A: Hey, Will: I couldn't agree with you more on some of these recruiters. Freddie left a lasting impression on me last season, when he had doubledigit tackles against St. Ignatius in the playoffs. The speed, strength, toughness and pursuit are so evident. This kid has a heart that can't be measured. As for the next level, John McCallister, who produces the highly respected McCallister Scouting Report for colleges, sees the Glenville standout the same way I do, as a solid safety prospect at the next level, or maybe even a running back. In my opinion, at 5-11 and 200 pounds, Freddie has all the tools necessary to excel at either safety spot at the major- college level.
