yeah but do you know what position schools have in mind for him? it is well documented that many talented White athletes at skill positions (usually rb, cb, wr) have trouble getting scholarships, no matter how good they are, and no matter the heart. I bet they already have the idea of putting him at safety with his size. Go look up Nile Knapp. Dude looked like Barry Sanders running the ball, led the state of Georgia in rushing, according to this website that he wrote on (
http://www.ncsasports.org/blog/2010/03/12/ncsa-success-story-nile-knapp-lindenwood-university/ ) over
300 schools reviewed his info, why did he have to settle for a scholarship at Lindenwood University? When he should have been going to Iowa, which is where he wanted to go but I believe he would have been a preferred walk on, like many talented White athletes.
Now there are a few that wind up getting interest like Sam McGuffie, to a lesser extend Rex Burkhead and Brandon Wegher. All were 4 star guys but I believe only McGuffie had more than a few major d1 schools interested, and his video was viral and it was hard to deny his talent when over a million people saw it. Although I think too many things were expected of him his first year and wound up setting him back, he transitioned nice to receiver at Rice.
Edit: looked him up, he doens't have that much interest from big schools, with SMU and Texas St with the most interest. Typical. I give credit to SMU though, they play White receivers and started Zach Line for 3 years straight and let him learn how to be an all purpose back when he was a powerback his first year. I see there is interest from mostly the usual White friendly teams (well as close as it gets), Boise St who has had many White receivers, Duke who just had Connor Vernon who graduated. Texas Tech who has had many White receivers over the years, although that was the Leach era, now Kliff Kingsbury is the head coach and he played with Welker and other White receivers so he should be fair.
Speaking of Welker Kind of dissapointed with him, news of him trying to get this tall "affletic" receiver (I think juco guy) to commit to Tech. The guy had interest in BYU and Welker kind of bashed BYU like "whens the last time they had a guy make an impact in the pros", and actually did the research and found Austin Collie. But that has nothing to do with talent. They have had many talented receivers.
Although it wouldn't be that dissapointing to see him put at safety, as long as he gets to start, there seems to be an abundance of White guys that are backup safeties in d1, usually special teams gunners. It wouldn't be as surprise to see him at wide receiver for SMU though, they just tend to put their White guys in the slot ala Cole Beasley.
