Good recruiting article. Sounds like a good kid.

I feel for the kid, but I'm a little worried about two reconstructive knee surgeries. I thought it was just one.

ACL's are not career-ending as much as they used to be. If they're done right his knees will be better than they were before the injuries. Jeremy Williams from Tulane who had a good game at the Senior Bowl yesterday also has two reconstructed knees.

"We can make him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster."

There is a guy who could be something special for us. I, for one, am glad he is going to be a bulldog. Plus he loves close to Hogdawg!

Reminds me of kid from Texas we recruited. Ryan Moats.

During his first year at the Catholic school, Moats developed a staph infection in his femur, and doctors were nearly forced to amputate his leg.

"I visited him at his house once that I remember specifically," Leyden said. "He was just always a very gracious and appreciative kid."

Doctors said he might not play football again, but he didn't believe them. He returned to the field by the third game of his junior year, beginning a comeback that led him to the school's record for rushing, which he still holds.

The illness was only one of the obstacles Moats overcame. He lived far from campus and had an old car that seemed always broken down. So if he couldn't catch a ride, he'd walk for miles and take buses, Porter said. But he always showed up.

He does what to Hogdawg!?

I'm pretty sure that would be an NCAA violation.

With apologies to Dave Nitz!

That's a GREAT story. Thanks for sharing it.

Maybe now that Burton has had both knees repaired, he'll be better than new!
