Hilton Head Island Packet wrote:Matt Layman, QB, Hilton Head Prep (6-2, 180) -- Getting moderate interest from D-1 schools, including Alabama, but 1-AA is more likely. It's hard for a SCISAA quarterback to get serious looks from big-time schools. Layman has good mechanics and makes good decisions, but he's awfully lanky and has been a bit injury-prone.

A. At first I was always looking at the bigger schools and always wanted to play major (NCAA Division I), going to Clemson and stuff like that. This process has made me realize ... I go to a private school on Hilton Head Island, so it's an eye-opener for you.
I go to Pittsburgh this Saturday, going up to Robert Morris -- my dad's home, his side of the family -- so it will be neat to go on an official visit to Robert Morris, and the Steelers play at home. It's going to be freezing up north; not really used to that, but we'll see how it goes. Davidson College is still in it, and if I go to Davidson, hopefully I'll be playing football and baseball.
I have been offered a bunch of walk-on positions at Furman, Coastal Carolina, Liberty and Presbyterian. ... And then a bunch of (NCAA Division II) schools and stuff, so I'm not counting out any of my options.
Q. If it comes down to a decision of playing football at a lower level, or going to a bigger school and just being a student, do you know where you stand on that right now?
A. In the past, I've always said DI or I'm not doing anything. But I've realized that I love sports; sports is my thing; sports is my family's thing. I can't imagine myself not playing college sports, so I'm going to try and pursue my dream somewhere at the next level playing sports, whether it's football or baseball.
