((GEORGE WELSH/UVA HEAD COACH: I THINK HE'S A VERY GOOD ATHLETE THAT WAS NOT MAYBE QUITE SUITED FOR TIGHT END FOR THEM WHEN HE WENT THERE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU SWITCH SOMEBODY LIKE THAT IF THEY'RE GONNA WORK OUT OR NOT. BUT I THINK HE'S A GOOD ATHLETE, HE'S A HARD WORKER AND HE GOES 100 PERCENT ALL THE TIME.))
