Just read where he is walking on at KY!

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 love this post, and C0NGRATS OZZY FOR CHOOSING THE SCHOOL YOU LOVE. All the best at UK. GO KATS.

Congrats to the Oz for choosing UK. Extremely happy for and proud of this young man. He's a class act. I can guarantee folks Ozzie will bust his butt to get on the field, will go to class and won't embarrass the UK football program. Like Patrick, he's just a great young man. Parents did a great job raising him. I was very disappointed that due to the injury he wasn't able to finish the season on the field with his Highlands teammates. But things work out well for those that live their lives well. Congrats again Ozzie! Go Birds and Go Cats.

Congrats to Oz!! UK will not be disappointed.

Big congrats to Sheehan, and to UK for getting him! This is "win-win," in my book.

Congrats Ozzy!

 

All the Best!

Did I miss the official announcement?

 

Regardless, best wishes to the young man. Seems like a good kid.

Ozzy Austin Sheehan

I finally made my decision. I couldn't give up my blue and white colors. I am going to be a Kentucky Wildcat.

Congratulations Oz! You went with your heart, so it can't be wrong. Best of luck to one of the most prolific passing combos EVER at HHS. (Towles to Sheehan!). I know it was a VERY tough decision as you had a lot of quality opportunities. Just remember, you'll no longer be the "big cheese" and you're going to have to be MARKEDLY better than a scholly guy to see the field in ANY capacity. But you do possess the ability to make your dreams happen. If you ever get to a point where you need a fellow Bird's shoulder who travelled a similar path...you got his number! Don't be like your old man...stay out of Two Keys, don't close down Tolly Ho's, go to Keeneland only to "look", go to the Library that has books, not beer, study more than party, and above all else, represent the "H" !

All of the bolded part is good advise. However, to add to that, also stay out of a place called Chevy Chase(if it is still there). I would always cash checks there. My parents thought it was a bank. It was a Liquor store.

 

I would go to Chevy Chase and then the Library. My parents thought I was such a student taking care of my banking and then going the the "library".

Called his dad yesterday to congratulate Ozzy and the family. Go Cats.

Congratulations to Ozzie. Having Towles there will give him a little bit of an advantage.

Follow that dream Ozzy, you Only get one Shot. Best of Luck !

That is priceless!!!!! Those were the days!
