      Kagen, has a lot of up side. He has looked very good in practice so far this year. I think you will see great things from him this year.

      Nice recognition. How has the college interest gone so far? It seems colleges prefer taller linemen these days. I know that hurt Bradley Way at CCH last season who is about 6'3ish. He ended up at Wofford.

      Your right about size Clyde, in a lot of cases schools only look for players that fit into the cookie cutter mold for size anymore.

      Can't wait for that opening kick-off. Kagen has put in a lot of work on and off the field since the end of last season. This team has a chance to be real special.

      If he's a junior he can still get taller also. This is the first I have seen of the kid. Will he get taller or is he done at 6'2"?

      Good chance he will still add a couple of inches. He has uncles and grandfathers in the 6'4" 6'5" range.
