High School Notebook: Top football players narrowing down lists

Central Catholic's Quentin Williams is in a similar situation as Shanahan, although Williams said he wants to play football and baseball in college. Williams (6-3, 225), a tight end-defensive end, has football scholarship offers from Pitt, Boston College, Stanford, Rutgers and Michigan State, among others. But he also is a standout pitcher-outfielder in baseball and some major-league teams are starting to express interest.

"Almost all of the schools I've talked to have no problem with me playing both," Williams said. "It's kind of shocking how baseball has just sky-rocketed with me. I used to see myself as just a football player who played baseball. Now the two go hand in hand."
