Who will it be??

The name everyone was chasing last season was Marshall Musil. The stud from LaCrosse was regarded as the best small school recruit in Kansas last season, signed with the Sooners.

But who is it going to be this season? Who is the best football recruit from the small schools in 2009?

A lot of eyes are on Saint Francis' Trent Raile. An athlete who could play anything, the running back has been contacted by the Wildcats, Colorado State University and JUCO power Butler. The Indians are having a down year by their standards but Raile is still chugging along.

A little premature but college recruiters were finding their way to Norton County for Terrell Lane. Only a junior, the 5'11" 210 running back racked up 1,500 yards and over 20 touchdowns as a sophomore, and has attracted Division 1 attention. He has been hampered by a knee injury this season, but a decent season and some rest should lead to a big senior year. Fortunately, unfortunately we have to wait.

And the biggest name happens to be on the smallest of the players. Colt Rogers of Smith Center might be a pint-sized player but he packs a serious punch. Opposing defenses scoff at his size but ask them if they were able to bring him down when he bounces off tackle? Rogers wants to follow in the footsteps of his Jayhawks running back father, Mike Rogers, but standing at 5'4" and only 130 pounds, Mark Mangino might be looking elsewhere, but he has garnered attention from Pitt State and Fort Hays too.

But Rogers will likely land on the mat. He's a 3-time state wrestling champion and has been contacted by the Naval Academy and even the University of Virginia for wrestling. From Smith Center, Kansas to Charlottesville, Virginia - eat your heart out Mark Simoneau.
