One That Got Away

A story about highly regarded but Navy-bound running back Bo Snelson in The Citizen of Pasadena, Texas, includes this quote from his father and coach:

“It really came down to the Naval Academy and Dartmouth,” John Snelson said. “Both the recruiting director and the head coach at Dartmouth made a very big impression on him. They’re quality people. But the Naval Academy speaks for itself.”

Chris Jackson is another student-athlete who narrowed his choices down before choosing Air Force over Dartmouth (or TCU).
