"Treston Decoud is a guy who comes to us with great experience as a player that was an NFL draft pick at the position that we're bringing him in to lead. He is a master technician and will demand the group to be obsessed with the details of playing on the island. What stood out to me the most about Treston during our time together at OSU was his care for the players. He was excellent at earning trust, and I have no doubt he will use his relationship-building skills get the most out of our corners and be an excellent recruiter!"
