Greg Paulus, the former Duke point guard, is returning to Syracuse to play college football.
This two-sport athlete was once forced to decide between his two loves: basketball or football.
He ultimately chose to play basketball for Duke University and Coach K., and lived the dream for four years.
Now, with his basketball career over, he has the opportunity give football another shot. Who wouldn’t jump at the chance?
Greg Paulus, former Duke point guard, will play quarterback at Syracuse this fall.
Paulus will enroll in graduate school at Syracuse (the very place where is originally from and where his high school football career once blossomed) and try to make a comeback in football for the Orange.
“My gut and my heart were telling me that (Syracuse) was the best place for me,” Paulus said, according to rivals.com. “To have this opportunity where I have two sports, and to be able to do them both at the college level, it’s something that’s pretty unique and special.”
Most athletes don’t get a chance to play a sport at the college level. And Paulus has been given that opportunity twice. I agree. It is special.
