A coach on the field if ever there were one, Southerland does it the right way. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time and much of this can be attributed to his unusual ability to diagnose plays before the snap. Isn't overly athletic, but plays downhill, is smart and very tough. Will be an asset to the Commodore program, will be a quality teammate and will graduate--Burke Hayes
