He'll focus on the defensive side of the ball and finished his four year career at Maginn with 179 unassisted tackles - the second-highest total in school history.

He also passed for 3,196 yards, threw 30 touchdowns and rushed for 15 more as the Griffins quarterback. Some colleges did recruit him as a quarterback, but Kargbo, a first team All-State safety in 2008, should have a great impact for the Bulls on the defensive side.

"He’ll have to work his way up and he knows that," Grasso said.
