Some quotes from 2020 DL Jalen Logan-Redding (6’5, 227) after his 3rd trip to Austin, this time with the family --
“It was players having fun. 2020, 2021, 2022 all just trying to bond. Getting to talk to Coach Herman and Coach Giles again, seeing him win the hot wing eating contest was funny. I loved they showed that they cared about having us on campus. It was just great to be back on campus.”
“He (Giles) wants me. Coach, he’s a very good guy. He wants to build character around his players. He wants to develop his players. He wants to make sure that he can do the best he can for them. I appreciate that.”
“This is going to be one of my top schools. The rest should be on Twitter, and it should be coming soon.”
Something else on him from his local paper --
" ..... Redding has terrific athleticism and length packed into his frame and as a weak-side defensive end, his speciality is to pass rush, getting to the quarterback, and keeping the outside contained.
“I use my speed and quickness to get into the backfield to get to the ball carrier or to get to the quarterback,” he says. “I use my body length, arm length, and my power to create separation between me and the O-lineman to fulfil my responsibilities.”
Redding was able to get some valuable varsity time as a sophomore last season and was among the Bruins’ most important players for a team that went 9-2 overall.
“Last year, starting varsity was huge for me,” Redding says. “I impacted the game by making big plays such as having tackles for loss, getting sacks, forcing fumbles, and sacking the quarterback. Looking back on the year, I could say I was a team player but there are still areas that I can work on and improve for the upcoming season by continuing to work on my speed and strength.”...."
