Some might look deep into the well and say it's dried up.
Others will keep searching for water.

Some local football players have persevered and found something at the bottom of that well.

A handful of kids have signed on late to play college football for a four-year school, most notably two Foothill League quarterbacks - Hart's C.J. Reyes and Saugus' Zack Gauthier.

Reyes is headed to Idaho State and Gauthier will play at Humboldt State.

Hart's quarterback won't be playing quarterback though, as he was grabbed to be the team's punter.

"It was tough for first couple of months," Reyes said of recruiting immediately after football season ended. "I didn't get anything back. I sent at least 100 schools (information). ... I was getting discouraged, but my brother (former Hart defensive back Adam Reyes) told me, ‘You're not going to get much back. Keep doing it every day. That's how you're going to get someone to look at you.'"

Reyes, was an All-CIF-Southern Section Northern Division selection as a utility player. He passed for 2,731 yards, was the Indians' place kicker and averaged 39.8 yards per punt.

But after the season, the 5-foot-8-inch multi-faceted football player received interest for his kicking prowess only. He was told by Idaho State coaches to keep throwing, though.

Louie Sakoda did a great job for Utah punting and kicking (and earning All-American honors for each skill). He's listed at 5'9". But... could ISU be getting a punter from down under?

"...the OzPunt program (is) operated by Cameron McGillivray in Melbourne, who has since placed five of his pupils into US colleges on athletic scholarships.

In the wake of King's deal, Jay Karutz has gone to Eastern Michigan, Jonny Mullings to Iowa, Rhys Felton to Idaho State, Luke Burgess to Culver Stockton, and Josh Armstrong to Southwestern Oklahoma State University."

I think that if you can kick a ball any ball then you have the ability to make a great football player as a punter, look at boise states punter he is small and has no other gift other than to the kick the ball.
