Let me know if this name rings a bell? Akise Teague. I thought it might. But for those who aren’t familiar with the name, let’s take a trip back in time.
The year? 2011. The place? Well.. Cincinnati, obviously, and the Youngstown area. The player? A stocky but quick Mr. Ohio who put up 2,226 rushing yards and 43 touchdowns as a senior at Ursuline High School in Youngstown.
Despite the video game-like numbers Teague put up as well as the accolades presented to him, the running back only boasted offers from Bowling Green, Miami (OH), Ohio, Youngstown State, and of course Cincinnati.
