“Dee came in here with a lot of accolades obviously. I remember back on junior day and I think it was my first day or first weekend here and he says coach here’s one of the best receivers out of Texas. I think he’s committed to us, I think it was his junior year and Frank was really hot on him and Frank had recruited him. And Dee came here and I think he had some good games and you know, as we all do, go through some maturity that we have to get done and Dee has done a phenomenal job and I’m proud of what he has done. Dee has, he goes to class, he attends tutors, he’s very respectful, he works hard at the weight room, he has garnished the respect of his teammates and he’s made plays. Right now, he’s probably one of our go-to receivers so we’re proud of him. He’s worked his way up, nothing has been given to Dee, he’s worked his way up.”
