Been a huge part of this OLine this year. Very nice article on how Laken grew up and learned the game.

Wow! Didn't know that about it. Great article.

Major departure from the current, "We Need To Get Paid" movement.

I'm still paying off loans, BTW.

I remember Coach Cutcliffe's remarks the day he announced Laken's name on National Signing Day. Coach described a young man incredibly dedicated who spent hours traveling by train and bus each way, day after day just to get to Lane Prep. It was an impressive life story.

Perhaps this is a reminder that it's important to look for potential and not dismiss possibilities just because we can't see them clearly just yet.
