Frank Fedorjaka on Izard: "Tom is a returning starter on close defense, and he really had a nice year for us last season. He dropped a lot of weight before last year and he is in great shape once again. Tom had a very good fall. He has a great stick and is a key guy in our clearing game. Like Billy Haire, Tom is big and physical and understands our defense very well."
