With the Super Bowl tomorrow and with his local ties, I just thought I'd mention Bobby Wagner. I was looking at old recruiting classes and was amazed when I saw Bobby Wagner's name there at the bottom of the Utah State 2008 list.
For starters, Wagner was rated a low 2 star by Rivals. And when I say low, I mean low. He was rated a 4.9. I didn't even think Rivals went that low, I don't think they do today but there it was - 4.9. 3 stars didn't even begin until 5.5. Utah State had 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 kids on the list, but there was Bobby at 4.9. Oh yeah, it doesn't show any other offers on his list, no official visit and he committed on Feb. 6, 2008 - signing day.
Bobby Wagner from Colony High, Ontario California, virtually ignored and now a pro bowl player starting his second Super Bowl. Wow.
