I’m pretty high on David. Believe it or not he’s a better athlete than Leki is…faster, more agile, etc. The issue for him has always been desire, willingness, effort…or any other word that fits the narrative. He’s a little lighter than Lek (thus why he wanted to play TE originally) but has the frame to add plenty more.
He didn’t go on a mission. Considered it but went to Snow instead because he wasn’t able to get through the clearinghouse out of HS. Not sure why it says that in his bio though. He was able to take care of the academic stuff and with the CoVid year is still a RS frosh. Leki is in his ear and was at the first scrimmage of the Spring (I assure you it was because he was making sure David was doing the requisite work). David has every bit of the potential that Leki found…he’s just got to continue to embrace it and I believe he will. He’ll be a major contributor before he leaves IMO.
