Joe Cook on Alford: In its first season playing varsity football, Shadow Creek made it to the 5A state finals thanks to significant contributions from Alford.

The self-proclaimed “100 yard landlord” lives up to the billing making instinctual plays on the ball on the perimeter and in the middle of the field. He’s constantly in position in coverage against 5A slot receivers, and shows an above-average ability to play the ball in air.

Athletically, it’s obvious Alford has the ability to get to the right spot at the right time. His highlights from his junior season primarily show him playing the pass with limited to no highlights against the run. It’s something he’ll have to do at a highlight level at Texas with the emphasis on funneling plays toward safeties in Texas’ defense. He’s not afraid to throw his body around. Maintaining his athleticism and adding mass will help Alford succeed in college.

45 second conversation at a crosswalk today on East Franklin, across from UNC. Dude saw my Longhorn T, flashed a hook'em, and after cursory "Hi, how are you, where you from?" promptly said: "Stole one from aggy today. God bless Jimbo Fisher, may he pretend to coach forever."

No idea his Surly handle, but he sure seemed like one of you degenerates.

Anyway, the next time we need recruiting momentum, I'll have to move further east. Maybe Morrocco.

Yeah. It's not like it's 15 minutes or so away. 

Umm,  actually it is 15 minutes or less. A lot of first/second middle class generation AAs move to those area off 288 for ease of access to family and friends back in their previous neighborhoods.  

Sorry if my sarcasm meter missed this one.
