The Bodda Getta

I got through the first two paragraphs and quit. This young man's attitude will see him an All American before he's through at Auburn. A perfectly matched set. Jeff Grimes, Alex Kozan, and Auburn University. I know he's an athlete and interested primarily at this point in grades and football-grades because if you fool around with sholastics you won't play for Chizik and Auburn. But as he passes through life, he'll realize that he was offered more from Auburn than football. His kind of youngman will get more too. I don't know Alex, but I have known a few like him. My Grandaughter starts her four year Temple Hospital Residence in just a few weeks. Eight years of college and she never turned away and failed one challenge. Alex is starting his march and I'm betting all of it that he has the same count in courageous determination, and won't fail either.
I'm very happy to say welcome aboard Alex, and I wish you well.

That attitude is so much better than the "I am going to start and be a freshman All-American hopefully" position some take.

You have to EARN the honors. When guys show up, try to play based on their high school careers, they get disappointed and want to blame someone for their lack of playing time.

Work hard and earn what you get. At this level you have to combine that natural ability with lots of hard work and determination.

He sounds a lot like Chizik, with the controlling the things he can, and letting everything else take care of itself. Like the attitude.

I'll be the first to admit, I didn't care 4 months ago if we got this guy or not.

After reading that article, I'm so glad he found his home in Auburn. Seems like a very smart kid, we need as many guys like that on the team as possible.

Kozan has the perfect attitude. Come in, work hard, dont worry about all the other guys battling for the same position. Worry about doing your job, to the best of your ability, every single day, and things are going to work out for you. That is a guarantee.

War damn eagle Kozan!
