Union Knights Football Team

Jay Scheel is going to start out at wide receiver in college.

Q: How was your trip to Iowa?

SCHEEL: I had a really good time. I learned more about the academic side and met with the coaches. I had a lot of fun.

Q: What did they have you do over the weekend?

SCHEEL: I got there at 3:30 on Friday and we ate dinner in the press box. I got to hang out with Trev (Hadachek) before coming back to the hotel. We had breakfast in the morning and academic stuff during the fall. Then I got to hang out with Trev and some of the players. We went to Coach Ferentz's house (Sunday morning) and then I came back this afternoon.

Q: What would you consider the highlight of your trip?

SCHEEL: I knew the in-state guys, but I liked getting to know the out of state guys. They were really cool.

Q: Did they clarify about your position at all?

SCHEEL: I talked to Bobby Kennedy and we talked about me starting at receiver. He really just helped with my decision and what I want to do.

Q: How do you feel about starting at receiver?

SCHEEL: I really like it and I am excited. When I played in high school, it was really fun. I am excited to go there and do whatever I can.

Q: Is it hard giving up quarterback?

SCHEEL: It is a little sad, but I'm playing college football. I can't be that sad about it.

Q: What did you learn from the trip?

SCHEEL: There wasn't a whole lot I didn't know but I did learn a few things about academics.

Q: You've been committed for over a year. How excited are you to finally sign?

SCHEEL: It is really exciting because I've always want to play there. It is only six months away and it is really exciting.

Q: Do you have any signing day plans?

SCHEEL: I'm not sure what will happen. I don't mind if anything does or doesn't happen.

Q: How is your knee doing?

SCHEEL: It is getting better. I'm working on it every day. The trainer and the doctors think I'll be fine. Everything is going great with it.
