Coach Sams said it: “Justin is a very athletic player. He led our team in interceptions on defense and scored touchdowns running and catching the ball. He was also a solid tackler for us on defense. Justin knew how to avoid a block because he had quick hands and great feet. As a kick returner he did an excellent job and was a member on several special teams. “
Congratulations Justin, and best wishes in the future. The Source is with you!
