"It was everything pretty much. When we were up there, we got a tour of the facilities and one could easily just say 'yes' on the football side alone," Aiello said in a Q+A with the Daily Emerald. "It's really attractive to recruits. But I didn't just look at it from a football side. I picked it because of the academics and all the sports you get. I could just see myself really going there as a student and not just as a football player."

"Kane has great size for a safety at a rock solid 6-3, 195 pounds. He's a physical player who loves contact and can come downhill and deliver a blow. He's also an above average athlete who tested very well at the Oakland NIKE Camp running a 4.67-40 (electronic), a 4.03 shuttle and jumped 33" in the vertical. He looked comfortable in coverage during the half-skelly period and fluid in the one on one drills." - Greg Biggins, Scout.com
