MK: To me, getting good grades is one of the necessities for me to get to where I want to go. So I just do it. I’ve always gotten good grades so I just stay consistent.
LPI: Who are some of your teammates or training partners that you believe can play at the next level, but have gone overlooked by college coaches?
MK: There’s quite a few.
Rashaan Palmer is our 6’4 WR, our head hunter Malik Lester, the ball hawk safety Keontis Parker, Our slot/KR Dekari Waight, 6’0″ DE Donald Thomas, and 6’2″ DT Kenshay Brown. These guys are all going to make a big impact in the next season.
Rashaan Palmer is a 6’4″ WR with elite speed can catch the ball in traffic and torch his body to catch the ball. Malik Lester a 5’10″ Nickel who never misses a tackle can also play Safety. Keontis Parker a 6’0″ Safety who can hit and snatch the ball out the air. Dekari Waight a sell out WR/KR and a work horse. Kenshay Brown a big DT can block and is quick off the line for his size. Donald Thomas is a 6’0″ DE with long arms is also a work horse who can bench press any lineman in his way.
