Quotes about Keith AhSoon

Praising LT Keith AhSoon, who reminds him of former Detroit Lions OG Eric Andolsek, OL coach Dennis McKnight (who shows his players a highlight video of Andolsek) said:
"Keith reminds me of Eric Andolsek, who we used to call 'Table' with the Lions. Eric Andolsek was a great lineman. Keith looked just like him playing in the game. He stays with the play longer than the opponent. He's tough. He has good technique. Even if he gets bad technique, he recovers good. Keith is really tough. He's a pitbull." (HA)
HA Note: “From Andulsek's videos, AhSoon learned that the best techniques are strength and power.”

About how AhSoon at 6’1” is short for a typical offensive tackle, McKnight said:
"Height is the most over-rated thing in football. What do they always tell a lineman? 'Get down. Stay low. You're too high.' Most guys who are 6-5 play too high. I'd rather have a guy 6-2 play leverage." (HA)

About how his lower center of gravity is an advantage for him, AhSoon said:
"Coach McKnight told me I have a low center of gravity, and that's an advantage for me. It doesn't matter how tall you are. The person who plays lower wins the game." (HA)

Impressed with AhSoon’s 3.0 GPA at UH, JJ said:
"They didn't think he could get into school. They didn't want to let him into school when he came. I'm so proud of what he's done in the classroom." (HA)

AhSoon was raised in American Samoa and had met the NCAA academic requirements as a freshman but not UH’s standards, so he had to pass a proficiency test before UH admitted him, said about getting his UH education:
"I wanted to take advantage of the scholarship. I'm getting a good and free education. If I don't take advantage of it now, I might not get the chance ever again. For me, education is the No. 1 priority." (HA)
