Terrific article.

Yep, just read that in the Boomerang a little bit ago. I really want this kid to do well. :thumb:

Kid's got a big heart - I hope he sees a lot of success on on the field and make it to the next level. People like him are the ones who should be the role models of our kids.

This kid's story is incredible. If you haven't watched the accompanying youtube video, do that now. What a humble, polite, down-to-earth kid. It won't surprise me one bit to see him do great things, both on and off the field.

Uso is one of my new favorites for incoming freshman. However, did you see where he almost quit during summer workouts because he was homesick? Hopefully, Laramie starts to feel like home so he doesn't have to battle home sickness all the time.

He is absolutely my favorite at this point!

Is that actual information regarding him being homesick? ...or is that from the rumor that was started on this board and based on false/unreliable information.

he was "hella white people" tweet. The homesick thing was in an article or gags video interview. Said Coach Kags was instrumental in keeping him going.

Thanks for clarifying, I must have missed that. I think he will feelmore at home when all the students arrive. I could imagine Laramie could be a bit quiet/lonely in the summer if you don't know too many people already.

He did say,now that fall camp has arrived and he's doing football stuff, he feels a lot better. It was part of the whole thing where he said Wyoming is like family now.

This kid is going to be awesome. I watched a couple of other youtube videos of him and it sounds like he was recruited by Dennis Erickson at Arizona State but obviously that ended up not happening because of Dennis being fired. Kid is talented. Watched him at a camp and he is pretty fast and has great speed and moves for someone his size.

I think there is a good chance he could see plenty of playing time as a freshman.

I hate when the headline is a name, I always hope for the best but expect he worse
