They said it: “Nick Chubb is a finisher; this kid will run slap over you, or he’s got enough speed to go around you. I like his physicality … Comparing him to other people, he kind of reminds me of Mark Ingram. I don’t want to compare a high school kid to a Heisman Trophy winner but he’s that type of running back. He’s a finisher with good enough speed to get to the hole.” – 247sports.com’s Rusty Mansell
Favorite non-coach teacher? "Ms. (Becky) Foster, who taught me in the fourth grade at Westside Elementary. I went to a new school, and she was really there for me to help with the transition. She knew my family, and I could talk to her about anything.”

Having been at Georgia four seasons now, soccer coach Steve Holeman doesn’t weird out nearly as much as he once did about playing Ole Miss, where he coached for 15 years.
