NYT on QB Recruit's 'Ride'

The New York Times chimes in on quarterback recruit Cole Marcoux. The story includes this great quote about Marcoux attending a football camp in Chester, Pa.:
“He wasn’t just below the radar,” said Tom Martinez, a coach at the camp and mentor to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. “He was beneath the dashboard.”
From the story:
“Everything should be in line with N.C.A.A. rules, but I told him to bring some Dartmouth gear for the cameras,” Dartmouth Coach Buddy Teevens said. “It’s not every year we have a player in that game.”
Also:
For two days, (Patriots quarterback Tom) Brady, his backup Brian Hoyer and Marcoux trained together.

Martinez said, “You could not tell there was a high schooler on the field.”
And this from Jay Fiedler after broadcasting one of Marcoux' games:
“Just to make sure you don’t go up and break all my records.”
