ARMWOOD HEAD COACH SEAN CALLAHAN  "Kevin only started playing football as a ninth grader. From then to now, he's truly developed into an outstanding offensive lineman for us.

"For the last two years, Kevin's been a very solid piece to an outstanding offensive line. You tell Kevin something once and he gets it. He's developed really good technique and footwork for a big man.

"Kevin is a team guy and he's only going to get better. I think he's a very strong prospect for Vanderbilt."
