Congratulations Rene you worked so hard.
Congratulations young man!!!! Great football player.
Nice job, Rene. This dude is the real deal. It’s been a pleasure watching you. Good luck!
Congratulations Rene, you are a tremendous athlete and student.
@George Hernandez I have to agree with you….Congratulations, Rene! I’ve been watching this kid since his freshman year. He should’ve played varsity as a freshman. This kid can do it all; run, catch, block, return kicks, play defense, sell popcorn, etc…I’m excited to see how his career evolves at NAU. Congratulations to NAU, you got a good one. Good luck, Rene!
Covering games again this year he’s one of the most complete players I’ve seen. Kid is not only a stud but a true sportsman. Nothing but good things coming for this kid.
