"Seeing injuries up close, knowing the personalities in-depth, Hall has high praise for Mangum and only wishes him the best, doing his best.

“ 'I do want to make this one reference. Things being said about my son are great but I hope the best for Tanner Mangum personally. I hope that young man gets the opportunity. He’s been busting his butt. Jaren and the others have the opportunity to learn from a high, very high character guy, a guy with resolve who speaks the way you are supposed to speak and lives the lifestyle you should.'

“ 'This is just my opinion and you can take it or leave it. I love that kid even if competing against my son. He is one fantastic person, a guy you can cheer for.' ”

Setting aside who will be the best choice to run the offense this fall, I think this statement says something very positive about both Tanner and Kalin. I like the respect that people have for Tanner, and I like that a dad who is no doubt passionate about his son can still give props to his son's competition.
