Signee = scholarship? I'm still confused.

I still have no idea. All I know is Dino said we can still sign 7 more guys. I'm just going with that and I'm not worried if Kevin is on scholarship or not. Coach knows what he's doing.

Is it possible that he has "signed" but is not receiving a scholarship as he did not require one financially? So he doesn't consider himself a pwo?

Definite possibility. In addition to the NFL money, a search of the google appears to show Kevin Sr has invested pretty well in real estate.

I’m curious to see what position he plays wide receiver or defensive back. many of his highlight he's playing DB.

Good article. Gives me hope for the sport.

Regardless, this is pretty cool. He had a couple of big offers (Florida), but instead wanted to go to his father's alma mater. I hope he starts 60 games in his career (and we therefore win 4 straight national championships).

Merit based scholarship? Dad coming back as WR coach?

No. I seem to recall Dad started some type of training facility in NJ.

Athletic scholarship has no relationship to need.

My buddy sold/installed the window treatments in the Johnson household and had nice things to say about senior, except that he hovered around during the install.

I didn't say it did.

He would hate working for my husband.

You can sign financial aid papers (even if financial aid papers are $0 and you're paying full tuition price), and that would be "signing" - so, yes.

I feel as though Cuse.com would have released something if he was a scholarship player, though. They have on every other one-off scholarship signing we have made (Alton Robinson in the fall, most recently).
