Today is National Signing Day for high school players making commitments to their respective colleges. It's the biggest decision some of these players make in their lives. In some cases, it will be the wrong one. They will end up transferring to another program or give up the sport altogether.
Some players will switch positions and find greater success or failure. A good example is a local guy, Zak DeOssie. He was an outstanding quarterback at Phillips Andover, but was switched to linebacker at Brown University.
At the urging of his father, DeOssie also picked up long snapping and special teams. He made it to the Pro Bowl for the second time as a long snapper for the NFC.
Some players are determined to decide which position they will play. It doesn't always work out. Most pf these players have a dream of playing in the NFL. It will only happen for a select few. The rest of them are in their final years of football.
Some will spend the rest of their life wondering what might have been.
