College football recruiting is known for being competitive. The best teams in the nation are trying to one-up one another for the best high school prospects and diamonds in the rough. But what if one of those diamonds was on campus the entire time? That's what happened with Ole Miss football. Head coach Lane Kiffin found himself a new punter at the most unlikely place: a frat house. Bleacher Report has the details.
“I don't know a whole lot about him,” he said. “I think he was down at the frat house, like at a keg party or something, where they got him from. So, we have condition work to do with my guy. But we just said, ‘Hey, someone go find a punter around campus,' so we found one that actually used to punt in Division I. So, you never know.”
