Fej (as I call him) was all over the place. If a play was not made at the LOS, Fej was in on the tackle or defending the pass. He has great instincts that go with his outstanding athleticism.
I'm not calling for the guy to replace Iloka, but I do believe he can be groomed to be an eventual starter, and will contribute right away on special teams.
Thanks for this SHRacer. I need more info on Fej.
Haslett said he was Illinois best player, better than the 2nd rounder Jihad Ward.
