My favorite stat on this story was that his GPA (4.63) was higher than his 40 time (4.3).

Talk about a kid who could have gotten into NU without football. Damn.

Very impressive scholar-athlete. Seeing the field as a true freshman is already a huge accomplishment in college.

Pretty sure if he could just score a couple of TD's Saturday he would look back and say this was a pretty good week.

In fact, he seems like a kid who could have gotten into any school he wanted. He had "offers" from Princeton, Harvard, Yale and Navy. Wow. Glad he chose NU.

Even more impressive is his AP scores in 4 separate areas...no small accomplishment. Congratulations to one of our many true scvholar athletes. And, yes, being pursued by the Ivies is also a "wow" factor.
