Carl Albert pair ready for season

Carl Albert has two of the best and most highly recruited players in the state. Running back David Oku and defensive back Daytawion Lowe are getting plenty of attention for their accomplishments on the football field. While getting a lot of attention from colleges is fun, the two are ready for their senior seasons to begin.
"It's always fun to get the kind of attention they are getting," Carl Albert coach Gary Rose said. "And they have earned it. But they are getting kind of worn down from it all, the whole recruiting process. They can't wait for the season to begin so they can concentrate on football."
Rose said he has gotten indications from Oku and Lowe that they are in no hurry to commit to a college. Rose said that it might be in the middle or late in the football season when the two make a choice of colleges.
Take a look at some info of Lowe and Oku below:
