From the net, Sheehan has offers from Eastern Ky, and Butler.

He has preferred walk on offers from UC, UK, IN, Arkansas, Ball State, and Ohio State.

No ,Sheehan was not Mr. Football , nor was Austin Collinsworth , and we see where AC is now. AC is one of the players in the skill position from NKY that you seem to think are nearly extinct.

 

I don't think Sheehan could hold Collinsworth's jock when it comes to speed.

^ Classy.

I don't think Sheehan could hold Collinsworth's jock when it comes to speed.

 

We got it , your not a big Sheehan fan. WOW!!!!

Track times prove otherwise in the 100m dash.

Name in the last 6 years who has gone to Major D1 schools on scholarships that are skilled players. I'll list a few for you since I'm sure your mind can only come up with Bluebirds. The obvious, Towles, Bruns, Collinsworth, Pike, Elliot, Simpson, Murray (Ryle). That's all that I can come up with in the last 5/6 years. Four of those are this year. So prior to this year where there's 4, there has only been 3 in the last 5 years. So, I believe I'm accurate in saying as you put it, "nearly extint".

That should do it for the speed thing. :lol:

Ozzy is very close on deciding the school that he is going to attend, a huge lifetime decision. He along with his family, coaches, close friends, along with current and former players of college teams that he considered, have contributed a lot of time and thought into making a decision.

 

I think Ozzy said it all, that most kids only have the opportunity to think about winning a state championship, but he and his teammates had the opportunity to live the dream for four years. Ozzy knows that his fellow teammates hard work and dedication extended him the opportunity that he now has. Ozzy is just a kid like every other football senior in America, making their best educated guess deciding on which college to attend for both education and football.

 

For someone outside of the Highlands football program to compare Ozzy to a Highlands legendary player who also lived the dream really has absolutely no relevance. Who was the fastest kid means absolutely nothing. Collinsworth was Ozzy's mentor. Ozzy is the mentor to the player that will replace him on Highlands this coming season. That's what is relevant. If Ozzy's replacement runs faster than him next season and averages 40 yards per catch, he's smacking high fives with him!

 

Ozzy is a humble kid. There won't be any drum rolls when he makes his decision. His true friends and members of the Highlands football community will be the first to know. Some will love the decision he makes, others will question it. However, only Ozzy has experienced his personal recruitment for the past two years and only he can make the decision that he feels will be right for him this year, next year, four years from now, and fifty years from now.

 

Highlands will play football next season and Ozzy will play in college. I sure hope he runs fast!

^ I look forward to hearing the news of which school is lucky enough to get Austin!

Well said hhsbirds2010. This is a once in a lifetime decision and a great achievement regardless of what the decision is. Good luck and best wishes.

Great post my man. I too am very close to an almost identical scenario with my nephew last yr.

You summed up my exact thoughts very well.

The Haters will always be hating and the Highlands faithful will always stick together. Those that do not and question a young mans decision are the ones I feel bad for and quite frankly this is about Ozzy and nobody else at the moment.

I know he will do well wherever he plays because of the family support system in place and the strong Highlands family tradition.

 

If I were a betting man and can read into what I just read then this D1 family member says a great big Congrats to Ozzy and the family. Trust me he will fit right in and make us all proud despite the naysayers and the Haters.

My advice to him would be to go where he is wanted. A scholarship offer and a financial investment in the kid means he his wanted.

 

Walk-on or the new lingo "preferred walk-on" is not a financial investment or much of anything with a player. A player who walks-on has a extremely reduced opportunity to ever play as opposed to a player on scholarship.

 

Trust me on this one.

I hope he picks Georgetown.

Speed is something Sheehan is not lacking, hands are pretty good, he will have to learn how to run more routes in college which i'm sure he will be up for. Highlands seemed to utilize him as a deep threat or fly route which of course I would have too. I think he will excel wherever he goes.
