"Nate Poole had to call his dad.
He’d just finished his first day of workouts as a freshman at Marshall. Coming out of Danville, Va., Poole was excited to earn a spot on a college football team, even if had just moved up from the I-AA level. A five-hour drive from Danville, Huntington, W. Va., is an industrial town that relies heavily on coal and steel production. Poole wasn’t calling about being homesick. He wasn’t calling to talk about college life. He was calling about something he’d seen while in line for the wide receiver drills at practice.
“Pop, I have seen the best receiver to ever play football,” Poole said."

Well, he weren't wrong.
The best part of this article is the section about running track for a week and winning the conference.
