Dantonio on Gervin: "Kalon is quick and a very explosive player. He really has all the makings of a great corner skill set: he shows great change of direction, can roll over and make tight cuts, and has the ability to flip his hips and run. He's also a good tackler. Kalon was highly recruited and extremely well coached at Cass Tech."
