We had a parent tape the games, so I was bored and threw this together. It's from 4 scrimmages and his first game of the year. Let me know what you think.

 

He's 8 yrs old in 3rd grade.

Congrats.. I'm so glad we have Cam McDaniel Right now. I would Point Cam out to Jacob when your watching the game together. I think Cam would be a great role model for him!

Nice, Zig! Congratulations! His vision looks to be pretty good as some of his blockers were initially swatting butterflies after the snap and he patiently waited for them to open things up on their time. Overall, should be a good player to have with nice instinct and great heart. What he lacks in his 40 time, he should more than make up with his football IQ. Needs a little work picking up the fat kid blitz but should be able to get better before next year's crazy recruiting cycle picks up. Kiffin's already saved him a twitter account... ;)

he surprised me this yr. when he was 6 he was in a 5-6 yr old league that was basically fastest kid to the outside scored and he scored a lot, but i knew the defenses werent that good. Last yr he was MVP of our 7-8 yr old team as a 7 yr old, but he didnt really have a lot of homerun TDs bc the defenses were better at this level. Then first game this yr, he breaks loose for 4 TDs, and had about 14 tackles from his MLB spot. Prob the most dominant I've ever seen him play, so I decided to do a little highlight reel for him.

yea but what about the competition--those opponents looked smallish to me---;)---you guys are always sold on these highlight tapes , everyone looks good if you just see the highlights---And what about those character issues and that prima donna father of his--I hear he's nothing but problems---we go after a player like this and its another vanderdoes situation developing.

 

i'll let the staff decide on this kid not you guys---:grin:

 

aloha's Zig---post more buddy

Very cool. Hopefully he's just out there learning the game and having fun....WAY TOO much pressure with elementary kids out there!

 

he's a 4 sport athlete (this yr he has to decide between basketball or wrestling), no personal trainer yet lol, just an 8 yr old that's having fun. he's only 4 ft 3, no big expectations here. Just teaching him to play hard.
