On 2-star running back Isaiah Woullard, who got an offer less than two weeks after a tornado destroyed his Hattiesburg home: “It comes a point where you need to do the right thing. And the right thing for us to do was to sign the state’s all-time leading rusher in Isaiah Woullard. His granddad played here. Obviously, they’ve had tremendous loss here recently. That didn’t weigh totally into it, but you can’t help but say that’s a factor. When I watch his tape, which I watched 100 times … If he were playing in a different league, I think he’s a no-brainer. And that’s the question mark you have on him. But I know this: He immediately makes our university better. He immediately makes our locker room better. And I’ve got a sneaking suspicion he’s gonna be like an Evan Engram-type, that you look after three years and you think, ‘Wow, we almost messed that up.”
