“He prepares like a professional. He’s the first one out at practice everyday. In meetings he asks all the right questions.
“He’s always working hard to make sure we’re on the same page in terms of the different schemes. Drew is really doing everything he can to build for that next level. He’s about to take that next step here in a week and move up to Penn State. I have no doubt that he has a very bright future ahead of him.”
