"I just loved the way he played the game. He plays every down like it's his last."
That's what Western Michigan football coach Bill Cubit said about Naperville North senior Kyle Lackner on Wednesday, shortly after Cubit made his 25-member recruiting class public.
Lackner, listed as a 6-3, 230-pound inside linebacker in the school's official release, played defensive end for the Class 8A state-champion Huskies in 2007.
Illinois State University received Lackner's first verbal commitment last summer before the Broncos became his final team of choice.
"To be honest with ya, I didn't know that," Cubit said. "We don't pay much attention to who else is recruiting."
Knowing what Cubit didn't know, who else would have made a good home for Lackner?
