BTW that's Wesley Cheek. He played int he same backfield at Dacula as QB Spencer Landis.

I wonder if the third member of the Dacula trio might possibly transfer here if he's itching to play football again. Israel was a tremendous athlete.

Wesley lived on my hall first semester of last year. A lot of fun to be around. He and Zach even helped me get ready for the flag football tournament in the spring (unfortunately we finished 0-2 with a patchwork squad that was vastly undermanned)
