Nuts walk on and they have inside them a dream of who they can be at SU. They’ve put in a great deal of time and countless hours of practice trying to develop themselves and be the best they can be. I was one of the “nuts” who walked to Manley from Kimmel and said to coach Shreve, “I want to play,” got a uniform from Al Zak the equipment manager who wondered if my mother had a lot of insurance on me. I was a 6’1” 180 First Team prep QB from N.J. who in two years ran for 22 and passed for 30 TDS. It was pre 40 time so convert a N.J. State Sprint Champion time of 9.71 in the hundred. Scouts looked but no one offered but Rutgers, Montclair St., Delaware and Penn but those schools did not have the major I wanted, SU did.

I could throw the ball as hard and accurately as Ted Holman the QB at the time and he didn’t like the fact that I could throw like him and during sprints at the end of practice the lazy players or ones who had no gas left were asking me to slow down. By the end of the season I was offered a scholarship. I understand that you need to offer 5 and four star players to keep up with our peers, but to say PWO’s like Clayton are not good enough is putting down someone who could be a great addition. I think perhaps you need to develop a different perspective by which to look at this aspect of SU Athletics.
