The Decision
Committed to the Sun Devils on Dec. 14, 2008. Chose ASU over Boise State, California, and South Florida.
The Verdict:
Naturally, the speed and playmaking ability stands out throughout his football career. Look for him to return kicks and get some time in immediately at corner. His coverage skills aren't touched on much but he sounds dangerous with the ball in his hands.
