He started as a freshman in 1997 in all 12 games and was an All-Big Ten selection. The next year Ben was a pre-season honorable mention All-American. In addition to being a first team All-American last year, Ben was named the team s Paul Giel award winner, which honors the player who exhibits total unselfishness and most concern about the University of Minnesota. <br>One of the pre-season teams nior, but strict technique on the power clean enabled my confidence to rise. It's just like our football at Manland High School, where technique is emphasized and demanded every day. I'm thankful for that because no one ever beat me on a pass rush, not even once, in my senior year." <br><br>WALTER WASHINGTON<br><br>QB 6'1 228 CO-CAP'T. 1st Team All-State, Eastern Kentucky signee. Strongest QB in the Nation? Walter won the national combine (quarterbacks) last summer competing in the Georgia Domr late to class. In fact, one of his traits is that he is always early. Ben has missed zero tests.<br> I don t miss things, says Ben.  You have to pay attention to time management. I have a day planner type of calendar. Besides, I really like my classes, especially math and my major. Ben will graduate in Civil Engineering and, after whatever happens in pro football, wants to manage construction projects. <br>Karon did not lift weights at Martin Luther King High School in Detroit.  Because, says Karon,  I was always in sports. I played three sports and I was naturally strong. Karon was All-State in both football and basketball. He also ran a 10.8 100 meters at 210 pounds. Karon carried a 3.65 GPA.<br>Karon never did drugs or drank alcohol in high school.  Never, exclaimed Karon!  I was petrified. I was scared to drink. A lot of my friends did. I was usually the mediator. Detroit is not a good place not to be sober. My uncle was a police officer and I learned that it was just not worth it. <br>Being in the  hood was part of Karon s everyday life while growing up. He gives the following advice to survive:  First, be aware and be smart. Second, be down to earth. Don t try to seem better than others. Third, be careful where you go and who you are with. You can be guilty by association. <br>Karon chose SMU to play football and made an immediat, offensive coordinator Doug Martin and myself develop a theme fo each game.&nbsp; Some examples of topics from previous years included The Playe-Coach Relationship, Destroying Discouragement, Uneash Your [FԤ5"-Ou8ϭ)y3} :BaAތ덥Єê=6gq6xj(_ QMҢ;xZR$(&U-|YER79-W6:4ȄcsJ¾/;jb8}?3Tfs$: dJ65`+X+tXQ¨'B ƤQS\_qBpz(?=ǩa_Wp;}+8o[Z+ԉZh[܎kŸ TIis sAD܆ B =Ǡjg ,#ץ. zS|֐JOθ썇l?jp7N7zAh_ԁtH;zbl61ڇa]X^&aSƼ ژnG#i59>dL̬sdW,C?t=ڸzY^ 0OMo_XuïOi^#Ԛ4XzQ7)F󞂹Fn^R抝$56+; p
