[Strikeout King]

Though he started for only his senior year, he was named first-team All-State quarterback.

He led his team to the Class 4A state football championship.

His numbers were outstanding: he passed for 2,769 yards and 32 touchdowns while running for 1,144 yards and another 22 touchdowns.

But Donovan McCoy won't be playing college football this coming fall. Instead he'll be putting all of his energy into academic endeavors.

McCoy, who has a 4.4 GPA at Highlands (Fort Thomas, Ky.) and scored a 34 on the ACT, told the Cincinnati Enquirer, "Up to the end of the season, I thought I was wanting to play and looking for a place to play but I have reached a point where I have gotten what I need out of football. I've played for 12 years and I'm 18 years old and my body has been to **** and back. I still love the game of football ... but as a player it's just something I'm ready to move on from."
