The Homeschooling Revolution



October 19, 2007

Former HEK Winner of the 2006 Harlon Hill Trophy*

The "most prolific rusher in college football history" happens to have a homeschooling background. He's Danny Woodhead from North Platte, Nebraska, and he plays for Chadron State College which is also located in Cornhuskerland. Danny has a 3.72 GPA (math ed. major), but upon graduation he may be headed to the NFL not the classroom.

Sports Illustrated profiled him in the latest issue.

The smile-inducing intro: "When he (Danny) was five, he scrawled numbers on the backs of his cowboys and Indians and then spent hours moving the plastic figures around the floor of his bedroom in make-believe games. Once when his mother suggested that he find a more creative outlet for his energies, he drew a football field on the living-room carpet with a green marker."

The carpet artiste is the first football player at Chadron State to be offered a full-ride scholarship.
