SKULL SESSION: OHIO STATE'S DOMINATING DEFENSIVE LINE, DWAYNE HASKINS' TIGHT END DAYS, AND TUF BORLAND'S NAME CHANGE
POP WARNER DWAYNE TRAIN. Dwayne Haskins announced his arrival to the college football world like the Kool-Aid man busting through a wall on Saturday, slinging five touchdowns and 313 passing yards and vaulting himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation.
He looks like a natural-born gun slinger, but according to childhood friend Mohamed Jabbie, a current Rutgers receiver who will face off against Haskins on Saturday, Haskins wasn't always on the giving end of the passes, but the receiving.
That is, until they found out about the cannon he was concealing.
From NJ.com:
"He wasn't always a quarterback," Jabbie said. "He used to be a little tight end when we were younger, and then he moved to quarterback. We saw how well he could throw, so we changed our whole offense around him. We were like 8-, 9-, 10-years-old, running a spread offense, because he could sling it."
Haskins was a pretty effective tight end, too.
"He was in our little guys camp, and so were my twins," former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, now the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator and associate head coach, said earlier this week in Columbus. "I remember them coming down to my office, he was playing wide-out in the pick-up, 7-on-7 games, and they said there is one kid up there we can't cover. Nobody can cover him."
Yeah, someone is going to have to find me some video of a young Haskins Gronking kids in 7-on-7. That's going to be a must watch.
