Nephew DID IT!!!!!!!!

[Gator]

Got him a football scholarship that is!!! 4yrs, FULL RIDE to SAMFORD UNIVERSITY in Birmingham Al. He has yet to sign I think, but did commit over the weekend. Did a little search this morning, and they are in the process of building up their football program, having hired in 1971 Heisman winner pat Sullivan. I know he will be playing defense, but not sure what position, linebacker I beleive. He did set a state record for most tackles in a State Championship game this year with 17

That is great news Gator! Congrats to your nephew and keep us up to date on how he's doing there.

Wow, pretty cool. What's his name?

[Gator]

Austin Hayes........... Up for lineman of the year in 1A also......... if he EVER put on some size, the kid would be a MONSTER. He is 6'5" or 6'6" but only weighs 230

[Andrea]

Way to go Austin!!!!!!!!!!!! That's terrific Jason. I hope he makes just as big a name for himself at the college level.

Sounds like a pretty good chunk of a guy already! Heck I'm 6'4" and only weigh 175-180!

Congrats to Austin, very cool!

I can almost guarantee that once he starts training with a college level program, he'll start putting on the size...
