Quick chat with Jessel Curry
Hey everyone. Freshman linebacker Jessel Curry just stopped by for a short chat. He graduated from high school a semester early, enrolled at Auburn in January and is going through spring practice right now.
Not too shabby for a 17-year-old kid, no?

Here's an overview:
* He said the toughest part of the transition is learning what Ted Roof wants him to do. Curry said everything he was taught in high school is "the exact opposite" of what Auburn requires of its linebackers.
* Asked to elaborate, Curry said Auburn's defense emphasizes leverage ... or funneling runners toward the middle of the field. In high school, he played the see-ball-hit-ball game.
* He has no regrets about missing the second semester of his senior season. "I’ve never been to a prom or homecoming, so I wouldn’t even want to goback. That’d be a waste of money to me."
* He's playing on the strong side behind Eltoro Freeman.
* He's named after his father and paternal grandfather, though he realizes very few people around here are named Jessel. He said a quick Facebook search showed that most Jessels live in the Phillippines. "I'm trying to put two and two together ... but I don't get it."

Good call - I can say he is adorable without getting in trouble. Now if I started talking about how the pretty blonde curls ON HIS HEAD, THIS ONE THAT IS IN THE PICTURE ON THIS THREAD were just begging for some fingers to run through them... that might be a bit much.
I think in another five years, he will be SMOKING HOT. I see much potential in this one...
EDIT: I know you guys only too well... had to make a clarification statement...
