Highsmith could be something special in the NFL.

I know this is above, but I wanted to note that he is making his local news outlets. This is important for Charlotte as a whole because surprisingly (or not) there are not that many people in the area that are aware we have a football program. This type of press increases our footprint which not only helps get better athletes from this side of the state, but will also produce more graduates.

That week 9 game against Northern Illinois was a classic! Glad that Highsmith is getting recognition though, dude is a stud.

“I went and toured the campus and immediately going into that campus I fell in love with it. It was such a great place. I found out that they were an up and coming program, a start up program, and I thought it would be really cool to be a part of that program. Charlotte was really the best option for me, and I do not regret going there at all. I love it and I’m a niner for life.”

When should we expect to start hearing reports on our guys at the combine?
Highsmith is on Saturday. The other guys are on Friday.

Alex Highsmith is the first mentioned under Edge Rushers. Way to “Own Indy” Alex!

Would love to see Highsmith with the Dolphins. They are defense minded and have struggled finding edge rushers. They also have lots of picks.

I have to believe that teams have a checklist they use when interviewing potential draftees, and one item is “Not an asshat”. Charlotte players score well on this one.
