Dude was like 6-5, 230 in high school. In D-IV football, that's bigger than most teams' D-linemen. I wouldn't be surprised about him getting an
OSU offer, b/c he had all the makings of a big time QB. The best high school QBs I ever saw in person were probably Ahmed Plummer, Jones, and Jason Turner from Versailles. I was probably most impressed with Turner, actually. I think he ended up playing baseball at Ohio State. If memory serves me right, he was supposed to be an incredible diver, too, and even played club soccer in the off season.
Great conversation, Dayton. Someone should cue up Springstein's Glory Days.
