Well, looks like we found our new "Biggest Baby in Louisiana" or "Did you know he also plays baseball" player that all our games commentators will bring up at every turn

No, but seriously. This kid could be legit! Love when kickoffs go out the endzone.

Guys like him are awesome to have from a morale standpoint. Whenever the team faces adversity and are feeling down on themselves, there's Mannon telling everyone "Don't worry, we'll overcome this!" And the most beautiful part of it is that it sounds like he can actually play very well.

I also love the fact that he wants to go down on KOs and make a play. If he makes a tackle on special teams, TS is going to go ape shite. Can you imagine how pumped our defense is going to be after that? Pure sweetness!

Makes you wonder if CG and EP had this attitude would they still be Tigers?

Great story. I hope this guy is booting kicks out of the back of the endzone for the next few years.

He is legit!!! I saw this kid kick off for their high school team in Houston... Yes the kid is that good. His high school team routed the other team that night. He was kicking off all night every one went deep into the endzone and many went out! The opening KO went 5 yards out! He a few tackles! Kids who know him at the school say he is really a great kid. He is 100% pumped to be a tiger!

Was it a great white shark? or a bull shark in the gulf?

Can we just go ahead right now and start telling fans of other teams that a shark bit it off when they ask?

Kid was sort of a legend in Houston. He has a lot of guts for sure. BTW I once worked with Dempsey(he was a heck of a salesman). Very nice guy.
