(S25) - PT 3 - Early Decisions

[RansackTheUniverse]

After initially starting his high school football career at the wide receiver position, Eldrick Avery was forced to switch positions to cornerback after he set the single season high school record for the most drops in a season, with an embarrassing 68 of them. The position switch turned out to be a good decision for Avery, who posted three fantastic seasons at cornerback to close out his high school career. Avery even managed to snag 19 interceptions at his new position, leading some to question if he had fixed his problem with drops when he stopped playing wide receiver. Avery's play at corner led to him receiving scholarship offers from top schools, including Ohio St, Michigan St, and Florida St. One school that Avery did not receive an offer from, was his father's alma mater, LSU. This was a heartbreaker for Avery, as it had always been his dream to follow in his father's footsteps and play college ball for LSU. So, after much deliberation, that's exactly what he did. Avery decided to forego all of his scholarship offers, and instead opted to join LSU as a walk on. It was a tough decision to make for Avery, but it paid off for him in the end as he had a great career with the Tigers and ended up getting himself drafted in the 3rd round of the ISFL Draft.
