If the kid can play well enough to get onto the field during a game, great. That's more variety on O, more tools in the tool bag.
dangit, didn't know other male athletes had. Was hoping to trip you up. All I remembered was Sue Lind. My old man got a hoops scholarship from Creighton back in the early 50's, figured that was old enough that you wouldn't know. Didn't know about the Palmer boys. What sport did they play and where did they go? All of my closer family members moved out of the Albion area or passed on by the early 90's.
Not 100% sure, but I think Chris Nelson was a scholarship TE from Albion in the early 70s. I believe he had some knee injuries that shortened his FB career though.
Yes on the knee injuries for Nelson. A kid named Gordie Foster had an offer but had a bad break of his lower leg against Hartington Cedar Catholic then got in a horrible car wreck with mutliple fractures and was never the same. He was about 6-1 and 225 lbs and ran sprints. He would have no doubt been a stud at NU. McQuiston was in the same class as Central City's, Dave Leigel, Jeff Quinn from Ord and Kim Baker from York. McQuiston was placed at Coffeyville JC by NU, was all conference I think his first year, then flunked out of school. I don't think McQuiston's upside was near what Foster's was. Foster would have probably played on Sundays.
