Allen Sampson takes over the kick returner position and a feature on the scout team

About naming Allen Sampson their top kick returner, Chris Tormey said:
"He's a true freshman, but we need to play our best players, and he's certainly one of them." (HSA)


Happy to take over the kick returner role, Sampson said:
"They wanted to give me the opportunity, and I've been working hard at it." (HSA)


About how Jake Heun is aligned about 10 yards in front of him on kickoffs, Sampson said:
"He tells me to run behind him, and I run behind him. He's crazy. He'll kill anybody. I know when I get behind him, we'll have a big play." (HSA)


Praising Sampson, Heun said:
"He's really good about reading the blocks. The kid can freakin' go. He's fast." (HSA)


Praising Sampson's vision, Tormey said:
"He has really good vision. He makes those blockers look good If they can just get on someone, stick on someone, he'll make a play. With his speed, quickness and vision, he can see what he needs to do, and he can do something about it." (HSA)


About how Sampson will be a good punt returner once he can catch the ball better, Mouse Davis said:
"He loves to play. He's one of those kids who loves the game. He's going to be a good punt returner, too, once he catches the ball better." (HSA)


About how he was nicknamed as "Turbo" since he was 2 but Darius Bright called him "Rabbit" at UH and the name stuck, Sampson said:
"I was thinking, 'Rabbit?'. Then Coach (Greg McMackin) called me that one day, so I guess that's my nickname." (HSA)


About playing safety for the scout team, DT Haku Correa said that the scouts:
"needed help, and I helped out." (HSA)


About how their travel roster is limited to 66 players so the scout team is limited, Correa said:
"There are only a certain amount of us who can go on road trips. We try to give everybody rest and help each other out." (HSA)


About working as a TE in the scout team, RB Hogan Rosehill said:
"I do what I have to do to help my team." (HSA)


About being a TE for the scout team (catching 2 TD passes in practice), 5'9", 170-pound Miah Ostrowski said:
"It's fun to volunteer." (HSA)


Appreciating the scout team, Mack said:
"It's a we-are-one philosophy. They want to win, and they find roles to help us to win. I have a lot of respect for this particular group. They have no egos. They look out for each other." (HSA)
