A little football recruiting news this basketball season.

His goal before he graduated high school was to play Division 1 college football.

Now he can scratch that one off the list.

Waubonsie Valley WR/K Scott Kuehn has decided to play his college football at Illinois State.

"I feel like I can surprise some people at ISU," said Kuehn via text message last night. "It just felt like the right academic fit as well."

Kuehn said he will immediately compete for special teams spot, with a chance to play wide receiver later in the season. He hopes to kick for the Redbirds as well.

"Everybody I talked to on my visit said they think something special is going to happen with the football team and that impressed me," said Kuehn.

Illinois State is coming off a 6-5 season and plays in the Division 1-A Subdivision Missouri Valley Conference.
