With good athleticism and years of practice he could have possibly played.


Would make a good weakside linebacker with great cover skills. He is used to back pedaling, can stop on a dime and closes fast.

Todd Kinchen was a regional finalist in tennis. He was offered a scholarship to Alabama for basketball.

Well, we know you don’t play tennis.
Keeps hair out of face/eyes.
Helps keep sweat from running into eyes during a point.
Forward blocks the sun when needed.
Backwards gives better site when no sun in eyes.

Or maybe they're just better at tennis than football. An All-District WR at a high school from my hometown got a tennis scholarship to a P5 school that wouldn't have offered in football.

And it's been said Drew Brees could've been a tennis pro if he wanted to.

Much better than those that wear those flat bills with the tags still on them while wearing sunglasses at night.

Wtf is wrong with some of y’all? Maybe at a 2A high school that’s looking to fill its roster, but some random Scandinavian 6’6” 135 pound white freshman tennis player isn’t going to walk in and take a spot from anyone in the SEC in this day and age.

6’6” European athlete at an American university - I’m guessing he has a very high success rate.
