He was legit in baseball at Neville. Hindsight he should have gone pro rather than get turned into a tight end by O at ole miss

I think Burrow scored like 60 points in a high school basketball game. If he was that good probably could've played somewhere D1

Exactly! Is there another human being who can make that claim? He was on a completely different level.

Patrick Ramsey. Ruston La.

He broke Bradshaws Javelin record.


Bradshaw threw the javelin 244' 11 34"

Ramsey's best was his freshman year at Tulane at 218 feet.

The javelin was slightly altered in 1988 or 89 I believe and it was done so to limit distances as they were worried about it leaving the field.

Virginia, easy answer at least for my generation, Allen Iverson. More electric on football field in high school than on the basketball court.

Not as well known and very young, but Garrett Edwards from Pitkin was state MVP in basketball and baseball last year. Now a pitcher for the Tigers

For TN it might be Todd Helton. Borderline HOFer in baseball obviously, but he was also the best high school football player and he beat out Peyton Manning for the VOLS starting QB spot - although Peyton later replaced him and the rest is history.

For MN, Joe Mauer was highly recruited in 3 sports - he was the USA Today National Player of the Year in both football and baseball and was all state in basketball for multiple years. He wisely went pro in baseball out of HS.
