Not bad for someone who only made the Asics honorable mention for All American; tells you what a joke that was.

It would be interesting to look at the past 10 or so winners of this award and see the college success that followed. anyone have any idea of past winners?

Actually i looked on the NWCA sight but they didn't have it updated so i emailed the lady who wrote the article and she sent me back this list. I tried to remember what the guys did in college and added it on the end. Feel free to correct any mistakes
1994-Scott Schatzman Parkway Central High School (2 or 3 time AA)
1995-1996-Jeremy Hunter McGaffey High School (national finalist)
1996-1997-Cael Sanderson Wasatch High School (4x champ)
1997-1998-Eric Larkin Sunnyside High School (national champ)
1998-1999-Zach Roberson Blue Valley Northwest (national champ)
1999-2000-Jesse JantzenShoreham-Wading River High School (national champ)
2000-2001-Steve Mocco Blair Academy (national champ)
2001-2002-Matt Herrington Lasalle Institute (AA)
2002-2003-CP Schlatter St. Paris Graham High School (AA)
2003-2004-Coleman Scott Waynesburg Central High School (national champ)
2004-2005-Troy Nickerson Chenango Forks High School (national champ)
2005-2006-Billy MurphyHughson Forks High School (quit, then juco champ i think?)
2006-2007-Cody GardnerChristiansburg High School (also quit wrestling)
2007-2008- Jordan Oliver (AA as freshman)
So from the looks of it, as long as you don't quit you got a pretty good chance of being a stud!

some detective work there cr i like it

And really, if you look at Nickerson back since he's a senior this year, you had 11 kids and 7 were national champs, 1 finalist and the others were AA. Pretty good odds for Nick! I think he'll keep up the pace.
