Happy Friday, friends and fans!
Several defensive players have made names for themselves through the first four games of the season. First year guys like Brendan Radley-Hiles and Ronnie Perkins are making noise, and senior Curtis Bolton is finally showing what he brings to the equation.
I say all this to mention another player who was expected to contribute at or near the same level as those guys, but saw his season end before it ever began due to a blood clotting issue. Freshman DE/OLB Jalen Redmond arrived in the spring and showed a ton of potential, and while it was crushing news to him and his family that he’d have to overcome this kind of adversity from the jump, he’s already making progress on his comeback.
