LB, about 6’3” 240 lbs, had interest from USU and some small schools but in the end was too nice to make it to D1.
I’m sure Grantsville was even poorer & more rural then than it is now (this was 30+ years ago). He made it sound like the biggest redneck nirvana in the world - lots of drinking & drugs, coaches partying with students, and everyone having sex. Based on his descriptions, this story sadly doesn’t surprise me at all.
