Division I programs didn’t show much interest in Harrison Daniels, but the Naperville Central quarterback is cool with that, knowing he’s on track to receive arguably the best education in the country.
After committing to play in the non-scholarship Ivy League earlier this month, Daniels said that Princeton is run like a D-1 program, one that has a locker room bigger than Michigan’s. The relative square footage couldn’t be confirmed, and it was unclear if any such calculation includes storage space for West Virginia documents shredded by new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez.
Michigan’s famed helmet design is believed to be borrowed from Princeton, an Ann Arbor look to go alongside the black socks and baggy shorts and the commemorative NIT mock turtleneck. But otherwise Michigan and Princeton mostly exist in separate football universes, except when a unique case such as Jonathan Meyers emerges.
For several reasons, the fullback/linebacker from Greenwich, Conn., turned down offers from BCS powers like Michigan, Florida and Oklahoma and instead committed to Princeton. If you were a high school senior without any academic, financial or athletic limitations, where would you choose to go to college?
