Top-rated quarterback prospect David Cornwell of Norman (Okla.) North and his family ended their silence on Thursday over the eligibility dispute that has jeopardized the remainder of his high school football career.
Cornwell, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound Alabama and Notre Dame target, is set to appear Tuesday before the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association board of directors. Cornwell seeks a resolution to the case that revolves around the fall of 2011, when his family lived in Florida and he did not attend school or play football as his mother, Debbie, battled a debilitating health condition.
quote:
Next fall marks the start of the fifth school year since he began ninth grade in 2009 at Millard South in Omaha, Neb.
Oklahoma eligibility regulations prohibit such an extra period of participation "unless sufficient proof exists that circumstances arose beyond the control of the student and the student's parents" that prevented the student from completing academic work.
"We understand the OSSAA's rules," said Ron Cornwell, David's father. "We've followed those. This situation clearly qualifies. He should be eligible. We're a little confused and hurt."

Hope the kid gets eligible and than throttles all his opponents. Fricked up they have to go through a review board.

This is the work of the MSFootball guy that posts in here.
I'm sure a few of us remember him and his nonsense about Cornwell.

This. If he was turning 18 it wouldn't be a problem. Though I think they should let him play

My senior year at Foley High, 1987, we had a guy that turned 22 during the season. Had a wife and a kid. We sucked so it was no biggie.

I don't think his age is actually a problem since he doesn't turn 19 til after the season starts. I was just pointing out that he is old. The problem is that it will be 5 years since he first started high school.

Jalston Fowler missed his senior season because his birthday fell a few days on the wrong side of the cutoff, right?

The last few years Oklahoma has been really harsh on elite prospects if there's any irregularities at all. They've sat more than a couple studs or forced them to move out of state for their Sr. seasons.

Yeah, IIRC he turned 19 prior to the start of his senior year. Cornwell turns 19 in October.

This is probably why OU never offered him.
