The NCAA says that less than 2 percent of all high school athletes earn a full or partial athletic scholarship.
The Beals are curve killers.
Brandon, a tight end, played football at Northern Illinois, graduating in 2009. Bruce, an offensive lineman, graduated from Alabama State last year. Brad is beginning his basketball career at Florida, and Bryon and Byron, the 320-pound babies, are high school sophomores already earning appreciative stares from college coaches.
"It's really amazing,'' Brad said. "My older brother, he set the tone for all of us. Not too many families are able to send one child to college. We're hoping to send five.''
And the runt just might be the best of all.

Same with the Crofoot family. We’ve got John….
With his first collegiate debut at Alabama, he became the fourth member of his family to play football at an SEC school, as Ike was a long snapper and holder at South Carolina from 2003-06, Chas was a snapper at Auburn in 2004-05 and Clayton was a holder at Auburn in 2008-09.

Colquitts, too.
Though we haven’t had any of ’em.

Damn impressive
I witnessed the Kentucky - Western Kentucky derpfest of '11 and survived to tell the tale
My main takeaway from this:
Twin brothers named Byron and Bryon. Ridiculous. Amazing. Let’s hope they’re the next Pounceys.
In all kinds of weather we'll all stick together
