Camp Rantoul evening session thoughts

Who are you, Joelil Thrash? Better question: What are they feeding cornerbacks in the greater Washington DC area that makes them all so great-y? He stuck out to me this morning, and stuck out again this evening, even before he read Eddie's eyes, jumped a route, and returned an INT to the house. He was working a lot with the second string defense (Miami Thomas, Bo Flowers, Supo Sanni, and Thrash seemed to be the second team secondary), which means he might have already jumped past guys like Patrick Nixon-Youman and Antonio Gully. I don't expect to see much from him this year - I'm guessing he might still redshirt - but he makes me feel even better about the cornerbacks going forward.
