EUSTIS DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR BILL LARKIN
"Akeem's really only been playing high school football for two years. The strides he made from last year to this year were just tremendous. He's also a natural leader.

"He's a big kid with unique athleticism. Akeem is a 6'3" guy who has 4.4-4.5 speed and incredible leaping ability.

"People still think of him as a basketball player. He's played varsity all four years, even traveled the nation with the All-Florida NIKE team. In football, he's still a diamond in the rough. He's going to be something else."
