DJK - Historical perspective question.

[Thawki]

I remember when DJK was a senior in high school that Kirk Herbstreit said he thought DJK was the best high school football player in the state of Ohio for that class. I am pretty sure that is what he said. Perhaps if I am wrong someone can correct me.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would care to go back and research all of the seniors in Ohio that year and list who the top ones were and what they did in college. I guess there could also have been some that weren't ranked so high that came out of the woodwork as well.

I think it would be interesting to see, when it is all said and done, how DJK rates out compared to the rest of the high school seniors in Ohio from his senior year.

Thanks in advance, as I am sure someone will be willing to look this up.

I remember the quote by Herbie, I am too busy to do the research.

I also remember the quote from Herby. He thought OSU missed out on a big-time player. And... they DID!!! Congrats to my boy on his accomplishments thus far! Let's keep it going!!!
