There are two things that set Mentor's Bart Tanski apart from other kids his age: He has quarterbacking abilities that can't be taught, and he listens to Celine Dion music.
More on the Canadian chanteuse's songs later. What's more important is that Tanski is the winner of the 21st annual Associated Press Mr. Football award, emblematic of the top prep player in Ohio.

If you're not handicapped, don't park there. Park in a regular spot and walk a few extra steps.


BOUQUET: To Mentor Cardinals quarterback Bart Tanski, who last week was named Ohio's Mr. Football, the award given to the state's most outstanding high school football player.
Tanski threw for more than 3,000 yards and 25 touchdowns in leading the Cardinals to the Division I state championship game for the second year in a row.
"Bart does things that most quarterbacks can't do," Mentor coach Steve Trivisonno said. "He's just got that innate ability to see things. He has full understanding of the game of football. He's one of those guys who never panics. He knows what's going on around him, and he has amazing vision and he's wonderful in the clutch."
Tanski is the first Lake County resident to win the award, first given in 1987.

Tanski will try Bowling Green

High school accolades and success mean nothing in the harsh world of college recruiting.
Exhibit A: Mentor quarterback Bart Tanski.
Tanski said Tuesday -- the day before National Signing Day -- his plan is to walk on at Bowling Green without a scholarship. Coaches told him he can try to earn a scholarship after he reports with the rest of the recruits.

I think he will turn a lot of heads in college.

Whatever happened to ... Bart Tanski, former Mentor quarterback

Whatever happened to Bart Tanski, who was named Mr. Football in 2007 after quarterbacking Mentor to consecutive Division I state title games?

Foregoing numerous scholarship offers to play at non-Division I schools, Tanski is a walk-on at Bowling Green, where he is playing as the holder on field goals and extra points, as well as a second-team wide receiver.

"I wanted to go to a Division I school," said Tanski, majoring in engineering technology. "I wanted to play against Ohio State and Michigan. I figured I would eventually get my shot. I have no regrets."

Having never played wide receiver at any level, Tanski said the position has been a challenge.

"It never crossed my mind," he said. "I was a quarterback my whole life. The toughest part is getting the technique down. I've got to work extra hard. Having been a quarterback, it makes it easier with some adjustments. When I was warming up [at quarterback] I caught the ball. So it has helped my hands.

"Being the holder gives you a better shot at seeing the field and helping the team. It is different."
