Sounds like a bright young man with a great future ahead of him whether it includes football or not!

Sounds like he has his priorities in line!!!!

[AAATC]

Good for him,

and all the best to him!

[THUNDERBIRDS]

Kudos to Donovan!

 

Would of loved to see him play in college because......KID.CAN.PLAY

[Keep It Real]

What offers did he turn down?

Ditto on that. Only having one year at QB may have kept him out of the "limelight" so to speak....but flat out a top notch QB

[UCRN]

Just MHO, but I think he is suffering from "Bluebird Burn-out". Would love to have him attend UC's top rated engineering school and then find his way onto Nippert field at some point. Which ever way he goes, Moose's ol'ball coach wishes nothing but the best for him...and all his Bluebird teammates, wherever they matriculate to!

He would be a QB at the NAIA or D3 level. If he wanted to play at a higher level he would need to play receiver.

Congrats on a fantastic football career at Highlands.

I have no doubt that he could have played at the next level somewhere. Dude was fun to watch...:thumb:

We have tried to tell people kids go to Highlands for the education! Everything else is a bonus! He was a treat to watch and I wish him the best of luck!!! Flat our gamer!!!

[PurplePride92]

I enjoyed watching him play against Boyle. He was something else. I wish him nothing but the best.

[jbwill2]

That's an impressive ACT score! Good luck to him in the future!

[Guest Birdflu]

When he was a freshman you could tell he would be a special football player. If he hadn't played offense, he would have been an all=state linebacker. He could hit with the best of them. I think it is great that he knows what he wants for his future. I certainly wouldn't want to play flag football against him.

What does that mean?

 

4 yrs / 24-7-365 / pressure to uphold the tradition / QB....PLUS the academics, after winning state there is a "decompression" that happens and many players that "coulda, woulda" decide to hang it up. Many have second thoughts later on.
