Thoughts: One of the young men I’m most excited about in the #BirdGang18 class is Yasir Abdullah. Yasir is a 3-4 star linebacker out of Miami, FL who the Cards snatched away from LSU, Miami, Purdue, and USF among others. For those who may question the impact playing in big time games makes on a program, Yasir was quoted last year saying that watching Louisville (and Teddy Bridgewater) beat his home state Gators in the Sugar Bowl raised his interest in the program and had him learning more about a team that wasn’t even on his radar as kid growing up in the Miami area.
