re: In your lifetime, the first HUGE recruit that impacted you

Anthony "Booger" McFarland.

I was a 7th grader in Winnsboro (his hometown) when he was a national recruit, and an all around great guy.

My uncle used to pay Booger to do work, so i would tag along and help out splitting/stacking wood, moving cinder blocks, etc.

One day I had my 4-wheeler with me, Booger and WHS's hoss rb, Antwan Holmes, both got on it and tore out through a muddy field, both axles were about 2 inches off the ground. Ha, and yes, csb.

Boog was Mr. WHS, most likely to succeed and was quoted in his senior yearbook, when asked where he saw himself in 10 years....

"Helping the Saints win the Super Bowl."

For me, after having gotten to know Booger, i was a changed person for the better.
