Meet Austin Firestone, one unique recruit
With apologies to the Dos Equis guy, Austin Firestone may be the most interesting recruit in the world.
The fact that Firestone is a 6-foot-5, 275-pound, three-star prospect who plays both ways and has 24 total offers as both an offensive and defensive lineman may be the most unremarkable thing about him.
For one, Firestone is home-schooled; he plays football for nearby Niceville High School in the Florida panhandle. He self-reports the equivalent of a 4.0 GPA and scored a 31 on his ACT.
Not only is he a student, but he also has a job. He works about 20 hours per week -- get this -- analyzing radar data for an engineering firm. In his spare time, he runs triathlons. And practices Muy Thai. Oh, and jujitsu.
Is there anything else the kid could do?
