a sophomore. I think that is the biggest difference between the two of them on the field right now. Almost a 2 year age gap as Sophomores. If the age difference was due to a mission then it wouldn't really be an advantage imo, but it wasn't. Van Noy was working out that whole 2 years.

Van Noy was 220-225 pounds at Warner's age and was all finesse. Wasn't till later that he put on more weight and played more physical. Although Van Noy's instincts were always second to none.
