Player Previews in 100 Days – Day 75: Lidge Kellum, Wyoming Area HS
NEPAfootball.com WVC Div 2 All-Star-Offensive Athlete. Coaches Comments: Lidge has been rapidly rising through his college evaluations, and has the potential to be one of the best in District 2. He is an explosive, dynamic playmaker that can impact all three phases of the game. He is a glider, who accelerates quickly and runs with his eyes. As a receiver, he has good hands, with the speed to take the top off of coverage and run after the catch. Dangerous in the return game. Solid academic student-athlete, with high character and strong work ethic. Lidge’s presence as a senior leader will be critical to our team’s success.
