"There wasn’t a huge adjustment period for him last year. We needed a Spur last year and he stepped in without a spring and gave us those good snaps. Just overall good play. He was consistent, he made plays, he is a force. He can run, he can hit, he can cover, he can blitz." Behind White is redshirt senior Marvin Gross, who started the final game of the regular season against Baylor. "Marvin is a kid who is very athletic," Gibson said. "We play him in a hybrid position. He is a kid who was a defensive lineman who moved to linebacker who moved out to safety. I feel that his game right now is as good as it has ever been. Yes, I could see signs of him doing this. We use him in the right way, blitzing him a little bit, trying to limit his man coverage. He plays physical against the run, he is very athletic and hard to block." During the game, he tied a career-high with six tackles, forced a fumble, had two sacks, intercepted on pass and had a pass breakup, earning Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week honors. "The opportunity just presented…

Donning a baking apron and entering Meijer as a new employee required a level of resocialization on my part.

Foster asserts that the most important thing that characters can do is change-- grow, develop, learn, and mature (77).

The effect of relative age perceived in sports does not appear to carry over to academics. Any correlation between redshirting and improved academic performance is mostly triggered by “concerted cultivation” (Lareau, 2003, as cited in Gladwell, 2008, p. 72). Parents that have the means and ability to redshirt their children are some of the most involved in ensuring a successful education for them. Generally speaking, once this condition is separated from the effect of age itself, any…
