Demetris Summer High School Highlights

usc1 · 03-04-2013, 05:09 PM

Came across these for the first time today. I know most people couldn't care less about this guy now but its still pretty interesting to see what could've been. He was a special talent.

Yeah, he averaged like 9 ypc

I was at the North Augusta-Lexington game in 2001 when Clemson-grad Reggie Merriweather outrushed Summers 406-301 and scored six touchdowns to Meat's four. Unbelievable game to witness...

Oh man, I remember that game. Best high school game I've ever been to

Went undrafted in 06.
Signed by the Cowboys to attend training camp but cut before the season started.

Then spent 4 years (06-10) in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders.
Won a Grey cup with them.
But after that, can't find anything.

Heck no, that Cack guy is a royal douche. I can't believe they allow him to stay around here.

The guy was worse than CJ Spiller about injuries, and the things people have said about him on here are FAR beyond what I said ... heck, I'm sure you've said worse on here than that ... wait, nah, not you.

I remember him getting his bell rocked, and coming out with a concussion I think it was against Arkansas. Then after that I don't remember seeing much from him.

I'd take Cory Boyd over summers anyday though. Guy had some great runs/games.

4Ever2Thee · 03-04-2013, 06:49 PM

I graduated a year after him at Lexington and he was amazing to watch, he was a good guy but had a poor work ethic, never lifted in high school when the rest of the team did but he could just walk up to a bench and rep what a lot of the o-line guys were maxing! Absolute beast! He was always in trouble at Carolina though, missing classes, not making grades, and failing drug tests, he could've been great though. He tried out for the cowboys after being kicked off the team but got cut for missing mandatory meetings, I think he's still floating around the CFL. I think he and Cory Boyd were on the same team at one point, meat was more of a return guy then

Acockolypse Now · 03-04-2013, 07:18 PM

I actually went to watch him play in high school. He was the most gifted HS athlete I ever say play in person.

That being said, I could tell when a play was going to go to him or not simply by the way he lined up and the stance he took. He also showed zero interest in blocking. If a play didn't go to him he just took two steps back and stood around until next play.

Many of the signs of his demise were right there for people to see, most just chose to ignore them.

He was soooooo good, just like Derek Watson. Why oh why have these blue chip studs failed so hard with us? <looking at you Lou>
