Jordan Ottley of Victoria was invited to play in every single post season football all star game in Kansas. But because he will walk on with Fort Hays next fall, he had to turn one down.
Ottley, who played quarterback and safety for the Knights, was invited to play in the East/West Kansas 8man All Star game, the Shrine Bowl and this weekend's Kansas/Nebraska 8man All Star game in Hays. Jordan turned down the East/West game so he could still remain eligible to play for the Tigers.
Seems ridiculous, but a lot of things that the NCAA does is ridiculous, i.e.; the BCS. Ring a bell?
More importantly, Ottley was invited to play in the Shrine Bowl in Wichita - an 8man player will battle with the best in the state in 11man. We'll see how he does. Ottley is one of only two 8man players invited to play in the Shrine Bowl.
Funny enough, Ottley will be playing with the Bruna brothers of Hanover, John and Alex, against Nebraska. Hanover beat Victoria in the 8man Division II title game, and now they are playing on the same team! HA! And the coaches of both teams are coaching on the same side against Nebraska! HA again!
They haven't had a chance to talk about it yet, but Doug Oberle, Victoria's head coach, said some comments had been shared and some friendly ribbing is going on. Ottley said they talked about it but have moved on.
I guess in this case, three isn't a crowd, but it's company.
