Title: Up and Coming: Trey DePriest
Post by: pmull on January 20, 2012, 11:29:51 AM
Trey's a young guy who came in early, so he's ahead of most young guys, he's got a spring on everybody," Kirby Smart said before Alabama's 21-0 victory over LSU at the BCS National Championship Game. "He's really learning the defense. Plays hard. Has great speed.

"Again, he's got to get bigger, stronger, but he's a fast guy that can fly to the ball. We're looking for good things. Glad we got him."

"Being behind Dont'a, all you've got to do is watch him," DePriest said. "With him being one of the best linebackers in the country, you've got to learn something. It's easy to learn from him."

When DePriest substituted for Hightower in game situations, he also took over the role of calling the defenses on the field. It's a role he will work in spring practice to perfect.
