In the article, Hight says about himself, "I could improve my maturity and my attitude." He could start by dropping the scUM talk.

What is your favorite college?
"Ohio State is my favorite school. They're who I watch on Saturdays. Of the schools that have offered me a scholarship, West Virginia is probably my leader. I went to visit Akron on Saturday, and I really like their facilities."
It's no secret you've got grade issues. We've talked before, and you're an excellent speaker, with above average intelligence. Why do you have grade problems?
"It's all my fault. Coach Cross and others warned me I was messing up, but I didn't listen. I was lazy. I'm hoping to do better this year."
Would you go to a junior college if you aren't qualified to play Division I football?
"I might go to a JC to go through the recruiting process again, or I could commit to one of the schools that have offered me now. I'm not sure right now."
What advice would you give to younger football players just beginning their high school careers?
"Just to keep their grades up. If they do that, everything else will fall into place for them, but grades have to be number one, not football."
What don't people know about you that they would be surprised to learn?
"That I'm an intelligent person."
McKinley's Antwon Hight was clearly the most outstanding player on the field. At 6' 4" 280 pounds, Hight moved like a player 75 pounds lighter. Antwon played TE and showed the ability to get deep and catch the football. This combination of size and speed makes Hight one of the top defensive ends in Ohio. Hight, ranked as one of Ohio's top players by Ohio High magazine, told me he has scholarship offers from Michigan State, West Virginia, Akron and Penn State. He is hoping to improve his GPA and has not taken the ACT. If he improves his academic standing, Hight could be one of the top recruits in Ohio.
.Antwon Hight does things on the field that a 280 pound player should not be able to do. He disrupts the opposition's offense from his defensive end spot, and on the other side of the ball, he's a terror at tight end. He caught a TD pass and was a devastating blocker. Hight has as much talent as any lineman in Ohio, and he is poised to have a great year. If Antwon can improve his academic standing, he will be recruited by every school in the country. He has as much potential as former Bulldog and Buckeye Kenny Peterson, now with the Green Bay Packers
