COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kirk Herbstreit has been keeping his eye on Cincinnati St. Xavier High School head coach Steve Specht's squads and the passing offense of coordinator Andrew Coverdale.
It's a far cry from the triple-option Herbstreit ran when he played quarterback for the Centerville Elks in the late 1980s. The nation's premier college football analyst, however, has seen enough to know that’s where he wants his youngest son, Chase, to be.
Chase Herbstreit, a freshman for the Bombers this fall, hopes to eventually become a state championship St. Xavier quarterback like Penn State's Sean Clifford and Wisconsin's Chase Wolf.
