Link: Jack Nicklaus' grandson is top football prospect

[N AL Tider]

Alabama is not recruiting him at this moment, but maybe we should. Not only is he a TE prospect but is also a top PUNTER also. As a TE prospect, he will have to add some weight (6'4" 215), but I think the S&C can take care of that...

Last year - Montana, this year - Jack, next year - Sanders...LINK

"Nick is such a natural (athlete),'' Jack Nicklaus said about one of his 21 grandchildren.

Guess it runs in the family, if memory serves, ol' Jack was good enough as a high school QB in Columbus for Woody Hayes to offer him a football scholarship.

Yes, that is correct. He was a stand out player. The reason he is called the "The Golden Bear" is due to his high school mascot and the fact he played football there. They are the Golden Bears.

I really did not know that. I thought it was because of his blonde hair.

Me too, until my former boss (also a "Golden Bear" born and bred in Columbus) told me the story. Cool, huh?

I thik he's probably an OSU lock. I mean his Granddad did dot the I.

The Tide already has Jay Williams.

[TidePhin]

Good point. That's about as much of a lock as you can get.
