That’s more like it.
Abraham “Nacho” Garcia, a 6-foot-6, 347-pound offensive lineman from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has committed to play football at the University of Louisville, starting in 2012.
Excerpt from a great story about Garcia at Sports Illustrated:
Garcia began life in the Bronx, but he moved to south Florida when his parents split. He always wanted to play football, but his size made that impossible. When he was 10, his mother took him to sign up for a youth league. After a weigh-in, league officials told Garcia’s mother her son would have to play with 16-year-olds. “I was,” Garcia said with a smile, “a heavyset kid.” Fearing for her son’s safety, Garcia’s mother forbade him from playing.
Should be fun following his progress.
This is awesome news. Can’t wait to see him eating blue linemen.
Very good news. Imagine how this kid will look after he’s spent some time working out with Coach Moorer. He’ll be a steamroller!
Interesting situation….has some Blind-Side-esque qualities to it. I’d love to see this young man be just as humble and responsive to the great leadership he’ll get from Charlie and the staff.
Welcome, Nacho!!
Interesting that he knows Teddy.
