When the Kansas football team lines up against West Virginia Saturday morning most fans will want to see what the much publicized Mountaineer quarterback can do. I want to see one of quarterback Will Grier’s receivers. Die hard college football fans have heard a lot about 6-foot 4-inch wide receiver David Sills V. In his Tuesday presser, Jayhawk head coach David Beaty said he wasn’t familiar with Sill’s story but knew the big receiver was one to watch.
ESPN.com once called Sills the football version of Justin Bieber. Sills’ journey from a junior high school quarterback recruit at Southern Cal to wide receiver for Dana Holgerson is fascinating, as described by Andy Staples for Sports Illustrated.
