For three years John has been in the thick of everything we do, serving as a boisterous, entertaining competitor who could make the most athletic of plays. But his playing time on game day was limited due to a lack of experience relative to the other men in the program. This appears to be changing in 2016. John has taken a leadership role amongst his teammates, not only with his voice and charisma, but with his play as well. He has advanced his game to be able to utilize the skills he has acquired in college and combine them with the speed and physical tools that have always defined him.
