OL D.J. Reader wants to play two sports

Posted Jul 18, 2011
Grimsley (Greensboro, N.C.) three-star prospect D.J. Reader has a request for colleges: He wants to play both football and baseball in college. That may not sound unusual, but consider who it is coming from. Reader isn't a quarterback, wide receiver or defensive back. He's an offensive guard. A 6-foot-3, 306-pound offensive guard. But he can pitch a baseball. He can hit one, too. And he's good at both. (Jackets Online)
