True story...

Many years ago our company had a branch operation in Little Rock, Ark.  One of our workers was a gentleman(great guy) who coached in the (black)youth league of North Little Rock.  Being a large Gatorade distributor for the industrial sector of Gatorade, we routinely donated Gatorade products to various organizations, mostly used  door prizes to various events, etc. 

The company donated several Gatorade water coolers and drink bottles to the co-worker's youth league team, subsequently inviting 3-4 of us to attend one of the games during one of the visits to our branch.  

Now picture this- four really white dudes visiting a black youth football game in North Little Rock, Arkansas, at night, in arguably one of the roughest parts of Little Rock.  

Well, we enjoyed the game!  And seeing the kids using the Gatorade coolers and squeeze bottles just like the college players did, brought a nice feeling to all of us.  Good football game too!

My personal opinion they give him a look at RB and Safety both see how he progresses then make a determination.

Just a little FYI on this kid...

Anyone who knows anything about Arkansas HS football knows about Hootens.com. It is Arkansas' version of Dave Campbells magazine. Every year they have a top 50 prospects released for the state. 

Mr. Adaway comes in at #44 as a top 50 player in Arkansas.
