HEAD COACH GUY BLANCHARD "Dre is a moral, high character kid, a better person than he is football player, and he is a tremendous player. "We kind of threw Dre to the sharks as a freshman, starting him as at cornerback. He took some lumps, but he definitely learned to swim, and became a great one. "Dre was on every team's best receiver this entire year and didn't give up a completion. Not one. He's an SEC corner. And as a returner, there were times when Dre completely took over games."
