He was active in volunteer work with the Arthritis Foundation and DARE Program. He had a 3.9 GPA and would graduate in the top 10 percent of his class with good SAT and ACT scores. However, because of his injury and being only 5'10", 180, college coaches did not knock on Jeff's door. Although he did recover well enough to take 2nd in State in the 4 X 100 in track. &nbsp;</P> <P>"I did not want to go to a junior college," said Jeff. "I wanted a great education and a great football school. My brother who played Devision I-AA ball was an All-American at the University of San Diego felt I could play Division-I football but no one wanted me. I wanted to go outside the state and I wanted to go to a school which had a shot at winning a national championship."&nbsp;</P> <P>As fate would have it, Coach Scurran met with Don Soldinger, the running back coach at the University of Miami. Don was a BFS Clinician before he took the job at Miami. Hence, the connection. Coach Soldinger told Coach Scurran that Miami needed a quarterback. Soon, after a visit, Jeff decided to walk-on at Miami. "I got a partial academic scholarship," said Jeff with a shrug, "but I'm paying for everything else. I had college coaches, after I made my decision to go to Miami, tell me that I was too small and that I would never play. They flat out told me I'd get my fanny kicked. When I old people I was going to Miami, they'd say, 'Miami of Ohio?' No one thought I was serious about the Miami Hurricanes."&nbsp;</P> <P>Jeff reported to practice last August with all the other freshman. During the first practice, all the players were tested. "I'd do scout drills," said Jeff. "Hand-off drills. I expected the worst but it wasn't all that bad. All the walk-ons got different shoulder pads than the scholarship players but everyone ate together.&nbsp;</P> <P>"They shaved all my hair off. I didn't like that but then I started holding on extra points. I guess they liked me because they moved me to second team holder. After that, they moved me to wide receiver for playing purposes. That was the first idea I had that they were looking at me."&nbsp;</P> <P>One day before the first game of this season. Head Coach Butch Davis yelled to assistant Coach Chuck Pagano, "Get some second-stringers in there!" Jeff remembers thinking "Put me in, put me in!" Coach Pagano turned around and saw Jeff and said, "How about Pop?" Coach Davis said, "Yeah! Put in Popovich." Jeff grinned, "I will never forget the Head Coach putting me in. That was so cool."&nbsp;</P> <P>Coach Davis believes in playing true freshmen. "It creates great team chemistry, gives us depth and gives the players invaluable experience. The biggest question for all freshman is whether they're mentally ready. If they
