High School Notebook: Top football players narrowing down lists
Quote:
Gateway's Shayne Hale (6 feet 3, 235 pounds), ranked among the top linebackers in the country, has decided he will choose among West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia and Ohio State. He was offered scholarships by schools across the country, but neither Pitt nor Penn State made his final list.
"There is no big reason why," Hale said. "I just want to get away a little more than staying around here."

OSU has the slight lead. Shayne appears VERY high on the Bucks and sounds as if WVU is behind OSU on my speculation.

Hale says that he has no leader and that he and Cameron Saddler will likely attend the same school.

Gateway LB Hale destined to hit - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Quote:
By Tricia Lafferty
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Friday, August 24, 2007
Gateway senior linebacker Shayne Hale was 7 years old when he had the revelation.
Hale was watching a Steelers game with his father and made a bold statement for a kid who had never played organized football.
"I told him one day I want be out there, and he said, 'Your time will come. Do your best and it can happen,' " Hale said.
Ten years later, Hale finds himself rated as the No. 1 linebacker in the country, according to rivals.com, with more than 50 scholarship offers and inching closer to his dream.

Class AAAA: Five players to watch
Quote:
SHAYNE HALE -- GATEWAY FB-DE
Gateway's Shayne Hale doesn't look like your average 18-year-old.
"Sometimes we go to an under 21 club," said Gateway teammate Cameron Saddler. "He always gets carded because they don't believe he's under 21." The football field is the same for Hale. Often times, it's like he's a man among boys. Hale is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound senior at Gateway who can dominate opponents. He's a fullback on offense, but is known as a standout linebacker. He made the Post-Gazette Fabulous 22 as a junior, racking up 105 tackles, 58 solo and 13 tackles for losses. Rivals.com ranks him the No. 1 inside linebacker in the country and Super Prep the No. 2 linebacker overall. The funny thing is Hale won't play linebacker this year. He has been switched to defensive end. Gateway's coaches like the talents of linebacker Jim Wilson and also wanted to get him in the starting lineup. "This way, we get two of our best players on the field instead of one sitting behind the other," said Gateway coach Terry Smith. "We threw it out to Shayne in the summer months, and he was a little upset about it. But we sat him down and said this is what's best for the team. He said, 'Coach, if this is what's best for the team, then I'm for it.' "Defensive end is actually a nice fit for Shayne. It's probably where he'll play in college." Hale is being heavily recruited, but has narrowed his list to West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia and Ohio State. Hale and Saddler, a running back-defensive back, might go to the same school. -- By Mike White

Shayne says his final four are all even. He will take his first shot at the SAT/ACT soon.

...Gateway head coach Terry Smith thinks the two could end up at different schools. While Saddler likes many schools with Michigan, Virginia and West Virginia near the top, Smith thinks Hale will choose between Michigan and Ohio State in the end with the Buckeyes holding the slight edge.
