(S25) - PT 3 - Early Decisions

[Jonny2x]

Sam Torenson was always the biggest and strongest kid in his home town.  Except that his hometown was a very small city so it meant a lot less than he had become accustomed to.  Throughout his high school career football was more of a getaway than a way of life.  Sam grew up as a farmer’s son and he was always working.  He joined the football team simply as a distraction.  When he began to realize football could take him out of his hometown he began to really work at it.  His senior year rolled around and he was a bona fide state super star.  Though, due to his late arrival to the scene he was asked to walk on at most of the big schools.  He couldn’t put his parents through that kind of debt so he chose the biggest school that offered him a full scholarship and that school was the University of North Carolina.  When he arrived at his first freshman spring practice he immediately realized he was in for a rough season.  He was no longer the biggest or strongest.  This did not deter him and by his senior season of college football he had showed how smart of a move it was for North Carolina to bring him in, one thousand times over.
