| Marquise Grizzle |
That proved useful after Grizzle’s plans to attend
Murray State on a football scholarship fell through in the middle of the summer
when was unable to meet the school’s academic requirements.
Grizzle, who rushed for a mind-boggling 3,085 yards
and 50 touchdowns as a senior, didn’t let the Murray State setback trap him,
however.
Within weeks he signed with Division II Shaw, where
he was eligible to play immediately.
Currituck coach John Wheeler said he was
“devastated” when he found out Grizzle, the first Knight football player to sign
with a Division I program since 1981, would not be able to play at Murray State,
a Kentucky school which competes in the Football Championship Subdivision.
“We looked at our options after we were notified and we were lucky we could
get him a scholarship to Shaw,” Wheeler said. “They did a great job of
recruiting him and staying in touch.”
