He is an outstanding student, a leader in the school and in the community. Oregon State will love him. He has an infectious personality. As a football player, he is a baller, for real. I’ve been coaching for over 25 years, and he’s one of the top three guys who have come into our program. And that includes Army All-Americans from last year; DeShon is right at that level with those guys. DeShon is the type of kid who will be the first one at practice. People say that a lot, but he really is the first one there and the last one to leave. What impressed me the most with him is the work he put in the weight room at the end of his junior year. He really changed his body. That’s not an easy thing to do. In terms of his football abilities, he has fluid hips and long arms. He breaks on the ball real well; he comes downhill. He’ll hit you and you go backwards; he’s a striker. Oregon State is getting a real gem.”
