Bear Bryant used to say about his star LB Leroy
Jordan, "If they're between the sidelines, Leroy will get'em."
B.B. Comer coach Booby Overton feels the same way about his star LB Chris Wheeler. "Chris made over 500 tackles in his HS career," Overton told us. "He makes tackles all over the field. He just has a nose for the football." Chris is somewhat undersized at 6'0, 218. However, he has excellent speed, quickness and understanding of the game. He was a two-time All-State player after recording 174 tackles, 4 QB sacks, and recovering 4 fumbles as a junior. Then, as a senior, he made 215 tackles! Overton says Chris is capable of playing any of the LB slots in the 4-3, but projects him to be a MLB in college. "You put him in the middle and he makes plays sideline to sideline." "Flex," as Chris is known by his teammates, is the nephew of former Tide AA Damiean Jefferies. |
