Here are his game highlights, including some big hits on defense before the long run:

Tyson Gay told WLEX on Sunday morning that he was on his way to Lexington from his home outside Orlando.
“She didn’t make it,” Tyson Gay said. “I’m so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It’s so crazy. I have no idea what happened, ”
Her mother, Shoshana Boyd, told the New York Daily News that her daughter wanted to become a surgeon and hoped to follow in her father’s Olympic footsteps. Her goal was to become the fastest woman in the world.
“She was so innocent, she was so innocent,” her mother, Shoshana Boyd, told the New York Daily News. “I just want people to stop shooting and realize who they’re hurting. It’s just random. They don’t understand, they don’t understand who they’re hurting. I should never have to bury my child.”
Trinity Gay tweeted about the restaurant shortly after 2 a.m. and then “Of course they start shootin”.

Under Armour All-American Lowell Narcisse dreams of making others better
Lowell Narcisse was named homecoming king at his school, St. James (La.), recently, but he had someone special in mind to share the moment with him.
Blake Brazan is a 9-year-old who is fighting leukemia whom Narcisse met when he was a sophomore.
“Just to be able to get him out there and to see him smile means a lot,” Narcisse told The Advocate. “He’s a guy who fights for his life each and every day, and I’m a guy going through something that takes me six months to heal to get back to myself. And he’s fighting something that is life-threatening. For him to be able to take his mind off that and smile means everything.”
Narcisse, ranked as the No. 3 dual-threat quarterback in the class by ESPN, has been sidelined this season with a left ACL injury suffered in a preseason jamboree. He had previously torn the ACL in his right knee during St. James’ spring game in 2015. He came back late in the season to lead St. James to the state title game.

And that’s what Narcisse does: He leads — on the field, on the sideline despite his injury and in the community.
“My dreams are to make the guys who play around me better,” he said Monday when he received his honorary jersey for the Under Armour All-America Game when the Selection Tour presented by American Family Insurance came to his school.
He is not expected to play in the Jan. 1 in Orlando, but he intends to be there, helping lead his team, just as he has done with St. James, which is 6-1.
An LSU commit, Narcisse says he remains committed to the Tigers and understands why the coaching change was made. Of course, he is intensely interested in who the next coach will be. He visited campus over the weekend for the Tigers’ game against Southern Miss.

Texas defensive end K’Lavon Chaisson goes from relative unknown to Under Armour All-American
In about 15 months, K’Lavon Chaisson has gone from never having played in a varsity football game to Under Armour All-American.
Now ranked as the No. 5 defensive end in the nation by ESPN and with nearly 25 reported college offers, Chaisson received his honorary jersey Monday when the Selection Tour presented by American Family Insurance came to high school, North Shore in Houston.
“I was extremely surprised (at how well he’s done),” he said. “I was missing for a couple of years after playing in (youth football). No one expected me to get this far and to where I am now.
“The coaches told me athletic ability can get you a scholarship, but it’s so much more than athleticism. When you get to the next level, guys are going to be bigger, faster and as mobile as you are.”
And Chaisson has become much more.

“The biggest difference has been more knowledge,” he said. “I’m getting better and better with the more I learn. I’m sucking it all in, taking it step by step. You can never learn enough.”
As a junior, Chaisson led Texas with 15.5 sacks, had 50 tackles, including 13 for loss, and forced three fumbles. One of those fumbles was on the final play of the 6A state title game that North Shore won. He also had a sack and blocked a field goal in that game.
His first scholarship offer came from LSU when he went to the Tigers’ camp with two teammates in the spring of 2015. Now he is deeply immersed in recruiting. He plans to announce on National Signing Day in February.
“I’m still in the blur, taking it all in,” he said. “I’m still looking at schools and not trying to rush anything right now.”
He is considering LSU, Texas, Oklahoma and Houston among others and attended the Red River showdown.
Given his journey, Chaisson said he was thrilled that so many people could take in the Selection Tour event Monday.
“It was cool,” he said. “It’s a once in a lifetime experience so you just enjoy it. Everybody that’s been involved with the football process of getting me to where I am now was there — coaches, family, teammates, players from the teams I used to play when I was younger.”
His path also has fueled his approach.
“My dream on the football field is to have everyone to know that I gave it everything I had,” he said. “I am not a player to just go on through the motions of playing one level to the next. I give 200% on every action I do on the field.”

Columbus' (Miami) Christopher Henderson receives honorary Under Armour All-American jersey
The word “fast” immediately comes to mind to describe Christopher Henderson.
Henderson, who has been listed with a time of 4.37 seconds, is ranked as the No. 6 athlete in the Class of 2017 by ESPN.com. He plays cornerback, receiver and running back at Columbus High (Miami), but his future is likely to be on the defensive side.
At 6-1 and 179, Henderson is long as well as fast.
He will get the chance to match up with some of the nation’s elite receivers when he plays in the Under Armour All-America Game in Orlando on Jan. 1. Henderson received his honorary jersey Monday when the Selection Tour presented by American Family Insurance came to his school.

“My football dream is to be the best that I can be and play as long as I can,” he said.
Henderson initially planned to play at Miami in his hometown but decommitted in early October. He has 26 reported offers and recently took a visit to Tennessee.
Many expect him to remain in-state at Florida after having made several unofficial visits to Gainesville.

During his weekly news conference Monday, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said there was more parity in college football and he attributed it to how the players of today aren’t as prepared when they get to campus as players of the past.
Here is what Gundy said as captured by Jordan Heck on Twitter:
Gundy, who has long talked about parity in college football, said he has heard other coaches say that they see more parity in the game today.
At Big 12 media day in 2013, Gundy said, “Spread offenses have been the single thing that has created parity in college football.”

DeMatha defensive end Chase Young solidifies standing with Army All-American selection

Chase Young is ranked as the No. 2 weak-side defensive end recruit in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
His surge in the rankings follows a breakout junior season in which he had 19 sacks, 27 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles and reached The Opening Finals. That success also included an invitation to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
Young received his honorary jersey Monday in a ceremony at his high school, DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.), as part of the Selection Tour presented by American Family Insurance.
“Last year a lot of teams didn’t know about me, but this year a lot of more do,” Young told D1Gridiron.com, a partner of USA TODAY High School Sports. “They game plan for me and around me. It’s harder to make plays. Sometimes you get double teams, triple teams or get hit by the running back.”

That hasn’t stopped Young or the unbeaten Stags, who are ranked sixth in the Super 25.
“We’re DeMatha and we have to show people whey that brand is nationwide and put out every game,” Young said.
Young is also heading to another strong brand in football. He committed to Ohio State in July and is planning to visit campus for the game against Michigan.
“It’s just a lovely place and I want to go into criminal justice and they have a program,” he said. “Coach (Urban) Meyer is a coach who wants to win. The defensive line coach, coach (Larry) Johnson is best in the nation. When I go up there, it’s like a brotherhood. I didn’t get any funny vibes from any of the players.”
He also uses the term brotherhood to describe his teammates, who he says are among the biggest things he will miss after leaving DeMatha.
“We just have a lot of fun,” he said.

Ohio State five-star receiver commit Trevon Grimes undergoes knee surgery
Ohio State wide receiver commit Trevon Grimes underwent knee surgery Tuesday in Florida.
Grimes from St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale) injured his left knee in the nationally televised double-overtime thriller against No. 1 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) in late September.
Grimes, ranked as the No. 3 wide receiver recruit in the nation, has said nothing has changed with his commitment to Ohio State and he expects to be fully recovered by the time he arrives in Columbus.
His focus now will be rehab instead of winning another state title with Aquinas.

Tyson Gay at daughter Trinity's vigil: 'We only can look up and ask God why'
Speaking just a day after his 15-year-old daughter Trinity was killed, Olympian Tyson Gay urged the Lexington (Ky.) community to put an end to the “nonsense and violence.”
“As parents we do our best to raise our child the best we can. And sometimes things just happen; it’s out of our control. We only can look up and ask God why,” Gay said, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader “Sometimes, we don’t get that answer. I just want people to be safe and understand that we all have a life, and we all have dreams and when your fellow peer has a dream, it’s our job as brothers and sisters to come together and protect each other.”
Trinity was shot early Sunday when sitting in a car at a Lexington-area restaurant. She was not the intended target, and three men have been arrested in connection with the murder.
The Gay family released a statement Monday ahead of the vigil.
“We are thankful and grateful for all of love, prayers, condolences, and food that has been sent. We are a close family. We have a strong relationship with God. We are deeply saddened for how this has affected not only our family but the lives of others that has lost a child a friend, or relative by these senseless act of violence. We also believe we in love and forgiveness. We are also praying for the families of the shooters because this too is a loss.”
