BigRedBuster Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I'm so confused on some HS careers of kids. I saw a tweet where he was from Granger, Ind. But, he is from IMG academy in Florida. What's the story with that? Quote Link to comment

What's the story with that? He lives in Indiana but has moved to Florida during the school year to attend IMG Academy. Quote Link to comment

Thanks_Tom RR Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Michael Bruntz 28 minutes ago Nebraska is getting a versatile offensive lineman in Mirko Jurkovic, according to IMG Academy head coach Chris Weinke. “Nebraska got a big time player today in Mirko Jurkovic,” Weinke said. “He is playing tackle for us, but has the ability to play all five positions on the line. He is a big athletic kid with great feet, and a nastiness about him on the field that is hard to teach.” IMG Academy plays a national schedule of games that includes state power Godby High School out of Tallahassee, Fla. in the Kickoff Classic on Aug. 23, and will tackle one of the nation’s toughest schedules that includes MaxPreps Preseason top-25 teams Trinity Christian High School from Jacksonville, Fla. and St. Peter’s Prep from Jersey City, N.J. Fall practices get underway in August. Jurkovic is a three-star offensive guard with an overall rating of 86 according to 247Sports. http://nebraska.247sports.com/Bolt/Weinke-Jurkovic-brings-versatility--29748226 Best part of that interview with Jurkovic's coach: a nastiness about him on the field that is hard to teach Yes, please.
