On the Club Prairie Fire podcast, Vaughan said, “He’s obviously been mentioned for a while now. He’s going to be around for a long time, isn’t he? I’d love to know what the feed is in him. He’s a big lad. He’s strong. That first ball went over extra cover for six. I wasn’t hitting sixes when I was in my prime at 25. He’s scrolling out there and striking him into the stands as a 14-year-old.”
