It's now safe to say one can see a pattern has developed which shows what kind of player Arth is interested in and what kind of player is interested in Arth. The article notes Kelley-Powell's intelligence, quiet nature, and cerebral approach to the game. Arth is recruiting a bunch of sincerely well-rounded, intelligent student athletes. If these guys can win it really looks like Arth is building a culture which we, as fans, should be able to take a whole lot of pride in.
Tyson is from Copley but attended McKinley. He graduated last year & originally signed with St. Francis. I don't know any more than that.

Loved that guy! He came in the same year as highly-touted Massillon RB Christian Morgan - who was an unbelievable physical specimen @ 6'4, 225 & ran a 4.5. Crazy stuff. I remember bragging to people about the Zips landing Christian Morgan. Lee Owens sure could recruit. But anyway, Brandon Payne was so electric that I believe I remember Lee Owens stating that BP was the team's #1 RB during preseason practice of BP's freshman season ?

The Scar was hired to make the tough calls and that's what he did... but he was shockingly ham-handed. His mannerisms simply defied common sense. I don't know how he could have gotten through the battery of interviews without people detecting that, "Hey, this guy's kind of a jerk & may rub people the wrong way."

He's fast. He looks fast enough to play DE. But he lists himself as a DT so I will too.
