Recent Husky Transfer C.J. Marck has accepted a scholarship offer at Miami of Ohio. The linebacker from Pennsbury, PA (Pennsbury High School) left UConn before the International Bowl, citing that he wanted to find a better fit.
In a previous blog entry, I mentioned that C.J. is one of the finest individuals I have ever come to know on a football field. It is more true today that it has ever been. I asked C.J. why he chose Miami U. Here is some of what he had to say:
(I’ve added my own commentary)
(Chik-fil-A is the “fine dining” of the Midwest too. Don’t church it up Son.)
Did I mention the 3-1 girl to guy?
(You can lead them to water, but you can’t make them drink, Ceej.)
I love you guys and that was the one thing holding me back because I knew I wanted to transfer in the middle of the season but just couldn’t see myself leaving the team.
(Did I mention how much I love this guy?)
Everything about UConn football and the team was amazing and I know I have friends for life from that experience.
Name a kid after me or something.
What’s your real name then?
Charles James.
There isn’t Chick-fil-a in the midwest.
