Just had a goodtalk with the former #1 player in country in the 80s kevin willhite #knowledge
For those who don't remember, RB Kevin Wilhite was another #1 recruit in the country, who verbally commited to Washington, then switched at the last minute... To the Oregon Ducks, on national signing day. Sadly, he destroyed his hamstring running track, in the spring of his HS senior year, and never came close to his potential as a college RB. At one point Wilhite was the best 200 meter sprinter in the state of California (State champion his jr. year, at 20.8... Also has a 10.5/100-10.4/hand timed), and amassed 4901 yards/ 72 TDs in his HS football career.
Hope KW still loves the Ducks!

Kevin Wilhite lives in the Sacramento area so either Armstead's family got in touch or vice versa. As for him loving Oregon, he doesn't seem to hold any grudges and thankful that at least he got a degree.

I read that article awhile ago, and it was a fantastic read.

Re: Hope this helps...
that was a great read. sad that his story gets pushed aside though because of the all east coast media bias. the pac 12 looks like they're finally ready to make a run at the SEC and start demanding some respect. two BCS wins this year would go a long way there.
sounds like its just a two team race now though for AA. ND and Cal.
