Well my thoughts are 1) Highlands and its fans can toot their little ole horn anytime they want especially when talking about one of our own and 2) leave it to a non-Highlands fan to challenge the system and the excellence in academics that works...:thumb:

 

Thanks for your concerns though...

 

Now back to the thread, A question that came to mind today to me is, can anyone name how many Highlands Qbs have gone on to play D1 football?

 

Off the top of my head. Towles, Lorenzen, Guidulgi, Walz, Kremer, Bardo and Hoge. Am I missing anyone?

Didn't McCoy have offers, but decided not to play football?

A bit off topic, and I suppose it doesn't matter, but I'm curious: Is Beau Mormon?

 

According to the internet (you know it's always true!) his father is, so I would assume that is what his son was raised.

Forgive my ignorance on the subject but will Beau have to do a mission trip as well?

 

Being Mormon myself and going on a mission, I can answer this one. No, he does not have to serve a mission. It is entirely his decision if he wants to or not. Yes, it is highly recommended and the church teaches that he should go, but if he chooses not to, that is okay too. It is not a requirement nor will a person be shunned if he or she chooses not to serve a mission.

Best guess as to the percentage of BYU kids that go on a mission?

That would be a 'no' as far as D1 offers I believe.

Probably about 95% or so. That is just a guess, but most young men go unless they have some other huge commitment like a scholarship or something. As you know, BYU and I think U of Utah will deferr such things for 2 years while they get the mission done.

About 50% of Athletes @ BYU that were offered Scholarships is the number I heard recently.

Thanks. For some reason, I thought there were talks of him following Bardo to Dayton.

Missed Tim Racke, I think he played in Big 10 maybe Purdue and actually played in the league

 

I think one of the Cecil boys played at UK,

 

Without digging in the vaults I am going to go out on a limb and say there were at least 2 more from back in the day.

This is old news but it was never on here. Hoge changed positions in the summer he is now a RB. His dad Merrill went off about it in a interview in August.

Also was injured from what I have gathered and would not be surprised to see him get one more year of college at another institution.

His dad told me he was going to have surgery.
