Miller Forristall had heard all about the kid coming to take his job, but he wasn't worried. Forristall was a junior at Cartersville High in Georgia, a tall kid with a strong arm and a bit of experience, and the new kid, Trevor Lawrence, hadn't even wrapped up junior high.
"I was like, the kid's in eighth grade," Forristall said. "How good could he be?"
People around Cartersville were already buzzing about Lawrence, though, and when the kid was invited out to spring practice, four months before starting his freshman year, it quickly became obvious why.
