"Brad's a very smart kid. When he came in, he really picked up the playbook really quick. He's been listening to [offensive coordinator James] Coley. He's been putting in work and it shows," said McDermott, the center tasked with getting Kaaya the ball. "Me, Feliciano, and Flowers, we've all gone up to him in between plays and said, 'Hey, we've got you.' We'll fill him up with as much confidence as we can and we'll protect our butts off for him."
