    He is playing out of position this week at OG instead of OT. He volunteered because they had a need to put someone at the OG spot. HE is holding his own against the heavier and stronger DTs.

    Yet another positive attribute - willing to play out of position to help out the team.

    Faulk (#60) was in for the first series for the White, playing on the same o-line as Fluker.

    Looked good from what I saw. I saw him standing up players on pass plays and not giving up much ground. Did get a good look at him on running plays though.

    Faulk was named a 2009 Parade All-American.

    "I'm honored," said Faulk. "It's a great feeling."

    According to his high school offensive coordinator and line coach:

    "I went to San Antonio for the All-American combine. We spent a lot of time, just man to man, talking about how he needs to carry himself in a different way, not in a conceited way, but just having the confidence to know that he can go out on every play and dominate. I sat in the stands and saw him do one-on-ones with the best defensive tackles in the country, and he just completely dominated these kids. I knew right there that he was coming into his own."

    "It's hard to come up with words to talk about what it has meant to coach someone like Chris. After we got beat by St. Thomas More (in his last game at Northshore in the first round of the state playoffs), I mean, what do you say to a kid who has taken everything you've told him to do and picked it up to a T? I just told him 'I love you like a son. You're going to do great things in your life."

    "It's just unbelievable what he has accomplished," his father Harris Faulk said. "Everything he's done, he's done with character. I don't have the words to express what it means."
