Kid can be the cornerstone for the O-Line from the time he is a redshirt freshman or sophomore!!!

Good pickup. Especially as we can NEVER have too many OL and, specifically, OT. Keep 'em coming staff!

As a Tilghman grad (61) nice to see.

Very few over the years. Glen Ed Shaw probably best ever from the Blue Tornado

I would go with Billy Jack Haskins as the former player from Tilghman who made the biggest impact at UK. "Dee" Smith was having a nice career at UK until he threw it away by getting kicked off the team. Richard Abraham was a starter at UK. Who else? Leeman Bennett? Josh Forrest more recently, and a DB (maybe) that played with Forrest, can't remember.

It should have been Joe Casey.

I can't think of the name Jarvis anymore without thinking of Iron Man (J.A.R.V.I.S. was his AI). Maybe Strickland earns the name "Iron Man" at some point?

There was a Kurt (I wanna say Johnson) who had a 100 yd KO return. I believe he played DB
