Excellent point, Mike.  And in fact, on Big Red Wrap-up this week,
Sean Callahan and others reviewed the recruits that have committed to
NU (and the two that de-committed), and then looked at others thought
to be interesting to the coaching staff.  One of those players happens
to be the QB at Waverly, but they don't see him as a QB.  He's an
excellent athlete and they see him either in the D backfield or as a
receiver (I think).  They said he plays well on defense and seems to
relish the contact (what more could you want).
