Just goes to show how infrequently I watch the local news here in Billings. I hadn't heard about this kid until running across this thread. To answer the questions of swampfoxfan and Jaxon_Vol2017 , I don't know. However, Ryan Leaf, "After leading Charles M. Russell High School in Great Falls, Montana, to the 1992 Montana state title, [was] told that his build and athleticism was good for a tight end, or maybe a linebacker by the head coach of the time, Dennis Erickson, at the University of Miami. He chose to be a quarterback for the Washington State Cougars instead after head coach Mike Price, who had coached longtime New England Patriots starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe, called him on the phone while Leaf was watching the Rose Bowl, and told him "If you come here, we're going there." Leaf did not know that Washington State had not reached the Rose Bowl since 1931, but later told Sports Illustrated that he immediately knew he wanted to accept a scholarship and play for Price."

Vol in Buckeye Land, you statement is most appropos. As I sit here in Billings, Montana, with the temperature having dropped today from approximately 61 degrees to, at present, 20 degrees and headed down to a predicted overnight low of 13 degrees, snow is beginning to accumulate.​
