The excitement in the voice of Troy football coach Chip Lindsey permeates when the name of Richard Jibunor is mentioned.
“He practices every day like it’s the last snap he’ll ever take, and that’s important,” Lindsey said. “He’s an extremely hard worker.”
The 6-foot-3, 226-pound bandit outside linebacker who sat out last season after transferring from Auburn is considered an impact player on what’s pretty much a rebuilt Trojans’ defense.
Not only is Jibunor an outstanding physical talent, but Lindsey believes he’s already developed into a leader as well.
“He’s a great example for our younger players,” Lindsey said.
