Originally posted by SanDiego49er:It's amazing that they are talking about him being a starter. He has come a long way since his Mission Hills Grizzlies days here in North County San Diego. He was a big star LB here a number of years ago and heavily recruited.
Eventually he chose BYU where he made a name for himself for being tall, rangy and fast and especially good in coverage. Which I think he can do for us too.
It's pretty crazy seeing him on the 49ers and maybe even getting playing time as they are talking about. The High School program he is from is one of the best in San Diego. I believe they won the CIF section Championship in his time era there. Sometimes they go undefeated and are one of the best High School programs in the County. Especially for football. They have had many football players at many College programs in recent years. Including BYU, San Diego State and others.
Now they even have players in the pros. I don't think he is the last one who can make it there BTW. They are known for very fast, athletic players who fly all around the field and also great coaching. They tend to have great, speedy skill position players and very athletic LB's and DB's. Many of whom have been recruited to major College Football programs in recent years and SOME of whom may find themselves in the pros eventually like Fred Warner. He is without a doubt one of the absolute best ones to come out of there in recent years. That was the case as he was being recruited to go to College too on the previous level. Now he hit the next level and it sounds like they like him a lot.

That's an amazing story, bro. What are the chances that someone from high school in San Diego made it to the pros, much less the Niners? I can hardly wrap my mind around it. (See Alex Smith, Reggie Bush).
