He is the early enrollee excelling most.  He is the guy who committed and never wavered. He is a smarty pants and, like, totally grasps this offense because he was VP of the National Honor Society and, you know, I think he's in Mensa or something.  He can even turn cynical hacks into slobbering campaign managers.  He is The Happiest 'Cane.''Look at him now! Look at him,'' running backs coach Tommie Robinson said. "He's a great, great kid. We're lucky to have him.''

There's not even a point to this. I just like to say "Mike James!" Just like everyone else.

LaRon Byrd, the kid from Louisiana who likes crawfish, 'Lil Wayne, voodoo, and a sprinkling of Spanish Pox, is played by wide receiver LaRon Byrd.
