Taking A Position

The Springfield News Sun writes about Alex McCrory, a 5-foot-11, 222 running back in high school who tells the Ohio paper he will be playing a different position at Dartmouth. From the story:
McCrory, Shawnee’s all-time leading rusher and a good student with a 3.73 GPA, will play linebacker in college. He said the Dartmouth coaches saw his highlights on ScoutingOhio.com, and one coach saw him in action at a couple of football camps last summer.
“They liked me and said I fit their academic criteria, and it took off from there,” he said. “I’m blessed to have an opportunity to play another four years.”
Oh, and by the way, following the Tweeter feeds it looks as if someone was "catfishing" at least one actual recruit about signing with Dartmouth.
