Buck,
You might be getting one of my athletes, Taylor Huskisson. He visited and then verbally committed to Air Force this year, although he says that since the coaching change he hasnt heard anything from Air Force and because of this may be visiting some other schools that have invited him, including Arkansas and a couple of others.
He was an option quarterback in high school. Won Schoolage nationals one year, very strong. 137.5kg clean when he was a 70kg 8TH GRADER, 165kg clean when he was an 87kg SOPHMORE, along with a 38inch vertical that I personally measured on a Vertec, and an electonically timed 4.58 40 yard that he did on the track in back of our gym. At his high school they have him listed as a 40 inch vertical and a 4.45 40 but I dont know how that was measured and i think anything done with a stop-watch is a little suspect.
I have known and coached Taylor since he was in 6th grade, and can honestly tell you that if he ends up going to Air Force, you guys will be really lucky. He is one of the hardest working kids I have ever coached, as well as being perhaps the best natural athlete I have ever coached. In my experience, those two things dont often come togtether in the same package. He is also a natural leader, and honest with very high moral standards.
