Athlete on Athlete: &8220;He&8217;s a great guy to play around. He&8217;s a great motivator. He gives me the energy to go another play. He&8217;s a great friend. He knows how to motivate people. He has great leadership skills. I trust him. If the guys behind him follow in his footsteps, they should be very trustworthy.&8221; &8212; A.L. Johnson football player Byron Clark Bennett

Coach Speak: &8220;He&8217;s going to do what he&8217;s supposed to do and be where he&8217;s supposed to be. He&8217;s a great leader, one of the better quarterbacks I&8217;ve had here. He works hard on and off the field. He&8217;s the kind of person that you really want to be around. He has the ability to really play on the next level. He worked real hard at both positions. He&8217;s not going to make any mistakes. He&8217;s just a winner.&8221; &8212; A.L. Johnson football coach Mose Jones
