the kid went on to play and coach in the NFL

Quote:Shawn Jefferson played drums in high school band before chance meeting convinced him to play football...

Titans assistant owes approach, career to MT's Stockstill

You know at uf the saying is put the band on the field and he kicked willgo straight up the middle at 55 yards. We used to watch in amazement when the kicker would kick great over the band. Then come Saturday stink up the whole stadium with really bad kicks.

If you remember former Auburn qb Reggie Slack, he was a tuba player in HS. When a friend of mine beat him out for 1st chair Reggie quit the band & went to play football in his junior year of HS.

Matt McCants, 2012 sixth round pick of the New York Giants. High school tuba player.

I have no idea who Rick Stockstill is, I am familiar with a Rick Standstill who was the offensive coordinator at ECU.

Yep. Whatever Callaway's skill level as an HC, he knows the offensive line backwards and forwards. Apparently playing tuba in the marching band at a historically black school helps a kid develop outstanding footwork. Which, most know, is the hardest thing to teach offensive tackles.

Whatever. I remember that ECU football team, ever so famous for its defense, which was horrifyingly bad. The offense wasn't that bad. He's doing fine at MT, thank you very much.
