Switcharoo...

Colt Rogers is a winner on the gridiron: Three state football titles, two time all-state running back, member of the longest winning streak in Kansas prep football at Smith Center High School.

We know that but despite all that, not many schools showed much interest in his football potential. And unfortunately, you can't blame them with his small stature.

(Would you be excited if your team signed a 5'5" 150 pound running back?)

But that comes in handy on the wrestling mat, where Colt has been just as dominate by himself: three time defending state champion at 130 pounds and undefeated in his prep career.

The University of Virginia and even the Naval Academy (NAVY!) expressed interest in Colt on the mat, and locally Fort Hays State and probably a few Big 12 schools.

And whenever you asked him where he was going, he answered, "Don't know..."

Ask his dad, Mike, and he gave the same answer but he always added something, "I think he wants to play football..."

He got his dream Wednesday, signing with the Pitt State Gorillas (awesome mascot) to play football.

Absolutely did not see that coming! Completely blindsided.

Big 12 wrestling schools, UVA and the Navy wanted him on the mat and when you put all the stats and intangibles on the table, wrestling seemed like the sure fire path to a free education at a high quality institution but he wanted to be on the field.

I went head, he went heart.
