I saw this kid play this past fall. He's a hell of a football and basketball player.
The curious case of Joshua Jacobs.
How does a high school football player go from only two offers to being pursued by every major college program in the country?
How does Jacobs, quarterback/running back at McLain High School, end up with his choice of the nation's elite football programs when less than two weeks ago his only offers were New Mexico State and Wyoming?
That's when a recruiting specialist told Payne he should start pushing Jacobs in social media, sending out information via Twitter and other outlets.
So, Payne and Jacobs' father, Marty Jacobs, started sending out tweets, Facebook messages; whatever they could do to drum up some interest.
"It started a flood," said Marty, who played at McLain back in the 1980s. "It has been incredible the past couple of weeks - actually less than two weeks. People and coaches are constantly calling. They are coming to Tulsa to recruit him.
He will choose between Alabama, Missouri and Oklahoma.
