Finally, FSU football receives some good news. 5-star defensive tackle recruit, Jacobbi McDaniel has made up his mind as to what his future will be, and that is football. McDaniel was recently drafted in the 30th round of the major league baseball draft. At first it seemed to be a no brainer that he should pass on baseball and pursue football. However, the Milwaukee Brewers threw a wretch into the decision by offering him a contract of $800,000. A lot of money for a kid just coming out of high school. But, after weighing his options and future in either sport, he decided on football at FSU. After reading interviews on McDaniel and his decision, it sounds like he had a lot of good people helping him. Education is one big reason why is declined the easy money right now because he foresees more money with an education.
His next phase in life moves pretty quickly after making his decision. He will report to FSU this coming Saturday to begin summer workouts with his new team mates. McDaniel brings much needed depth to the defensive line. He has a very good chance of being a starter or at least being heavily used in the rotation on the line. The future looks bright for this kid and who knows, in a few years the NFL may come calling and offer a substantial amount of money. Work hard and it all should pay off in the end.
nice, ive been wanting to know what he decided. And it sounds like for the first time in a trillion years (i guess with the excpetion to Rolle) we have an intelligent football player. Possibly the sign of a player who will develop quickly?? i hope so
