10 Questions Posted

To learn a little more about incoming freshman Chris Burns, check out the latest edition of 10 Questions, posted Monday on the Big Green Alert main site.

Burns is a speedy, 5-10ish tailback from Texas who weighs somewhere in the 175-pound range. A team captain at The Woodlands, which sent freshman wide receiver Eric Paul to Dartmouth, Burns ran for 585 yards and had eight touchdowns as a senior, earning All-District and All-County honors. His speed in the 40 varies according to who is on the stopwatch or at the keyboard, but one point remains constant: He's awfully fast.

In this edition of "10 Questions," Chris says he models his game after a college player who might be headed to Texas in the June draft and cites a quote from one of the most underrated baseball movies of all time as his favorite saying. ...

Incoming quarterback/defensive back/athlete Jordan Kling continues to live up to the "athlete" label. At the Charleston High School Boys Indoor Invitational track meet, an Illinois track meet that had 64 schools involved, Kling won the triple jump with a measure of 41 feet, 11 and one-quarter inches.

UPDATE: That was just Kling's second triple-jump competition ever. His mark qualified him for states.
