...With his length, and he's fairly tall corner, and his versatility, he's going to be able to do a lot of things. He can sneak up on you and play man, but he's also a good zone corner. The game's very important to him, and he has knack for making plays. ... Some things, when you're coaching, you just can't teach. At some point, players just have to be able to play, and let their instincts take over. And those guys, they can make plays, and that's what he done.
He played a lot of football for us, every down for four years. He has confidence in his ability. The game comes natural to him. ... We played him to boundary quite a bit, because teams would put 'trips' to the field, and that enabled us to put pressure on him and put him in man-to-man situations. He allowed us to flood the field side with coverage, and he could take away the guy to boundary himself. ... It's hard to get much better than Antoine.
He's a tremendous person. He came in from day one with work ethic, an ability to listen. He developed into a top corner, because of his work ethic, and because he listens and he's always been coachable, from the time he arrived to the day he left. He's a great kid, I have a lot of respect for him. He'll be a tremendous pro because of those things. ... (As a student), he was way above normal, he worked it where he had just one class this fall, and he doesn't even have to be on campus. He'll graduate in May with a high GPA, and he's one of most likable guys on campus.
