Linebacker Jason Meehan (Webster Groves, Mo./Webster Groves) was named all-state and drew rave reviews from opposing coaches, but that hasn't translated into more scholarship offers."I really don't understand it," said Webster Groves coach Cliff Ice. "I haven't seen a better linebacker this year. Why is this happening? Since I can't find the answer, I might guess and take a stab that it could have something to do with a sub-par combine performance last summer. "I have to believe college coaches are looking for football players and not workout warriors. He [Meehan] is a football player. There's not another linebacker I'd want more on my team ."Meehan says he does have an offer from Eastern Illinois but he's still holding out hope that in the next few months, schools contact him and take a closer look."I'm hearing from some MAC schools but no offer yet," he said. "I'm completely wide open and would be open to listening to any school but Boston College, Iowa, Missouri, Michigan and Michigan State would be the schools are at the top of my wish list."Meehan, 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, had 177 tackles (123 solo), with 13 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and five interceptions this season. "Jason played offense for us this year as well," Ice said. "He only had nine catches but he averaged 56 yards per touch. The video of those catches is eye-opening because Jason outruns a lot of defensive backs. Jason is faster this year and he's better all-around this year. That's saying a lot because he was probably our best player as a junior."Brinson ready to make visits
