Furman reports a 2.4 core GPA and 17 ACT, which he retook on Oct. 24.
Furman: “I have great vision and explosiveness. I’m very athletic (claims a 40-inch vertical jump) and have great closing speed to the ball.
“I’m also real smooth and like to play old school like Erik Dickerson or powerful like Jim Brown.
“I want to improve my coverage on defense and be a better pass rusher. On offense I’m just working on my hands and catching the ball better.”
