He sound legitamtely interested. He compared himself to Ngata I would love our chances, but the dagger...

Have you given any thought as to what you might want to study when you get to college?
"Mechanical Engineering."

"Mechanical Engineering."

We now offer that as a fifth year graduate program at our annex out building 40 miles to the North of the main campus.

Just noticed he is from the same High School as Ontario Smith. (insert Wizzinatonater jokes here)

They are a frigg'n power in CA football. It's a inner city school. Clobbered our Spring Ball star freshman Mitchell's school in their matchup this last season.

They had a running back Butler(Booker) who two years in a row averaged around 10 yards per carry and 2000 yards. And despite being State Champs one year and semi finalists the next he couldn't get an offer. Finally ended up at WSU. He is one of those players I bookmarked to follow up in a couple of years to see if all the recruiters that passed on him knew what they were doing or not. My other player in that "watch how they turn out" category is TJ Wards little brother. (Huge High School career at big time school but no offers until the last minute barkrat deal). It's off-season and I'm old so excuse the rambling.

...and goodbye.

Dude, hes a DT. There's no way he's gonna study mechanical engineering. Hopefully he lets that goal go to the wayside & doesn't have it factor into his decision.

There are exceptions, but sadly Grant has horrendous academics making it difficult for kids to qualify at times due to low test scores etc. The character issues of some of their big name alumni doesn't help either.

Can't we ask Uncle Phil to take care of our "engineering" problems?

[oregontrack]

I'd love to see a study that could determine how many student athletes who want to go into an engineering program follow through with an engineering degree. Football and engineering are both so damn time consuming I would assume the majority switch majors fairly quickly.

Studying mechanical engineering and playing football is a pipe dream.

Yeah that's my hope, maybe he'll realize how difficult Engineering and playing football would be and switch majors to something Oregon has.

Ndamukong Suh pulled it off (which is why he went to Nebraska instead of Oregon).

[ncduck]

And now he has corn stuck in his teeth, is afraid of wind, and forgot what mountains look like. So one guy pulled it off. How many don't is the real piece of info to know.

[woundedknees]

OS QB Jonathon Smith pulled it off, as a QB, which to me is more significant due to the greater amount of brain work involved with being a D-1 starter at that position.

Suh did not receive a degree in engineering. He changed his major while at Nebraska.

What did he change to?
