BOWLING GREEN — In the fall of 2013, word arrived to Gary Kornfeld that he just had to see a running back on the freshman football team.
The longtime former St. Louis University High School football coach made his way to one of the games, and it was true.
A diminutive 14-year-old seemed to be playing at a different pace than everyone else on the field. The back wasn’t big and he didn’t posses sprinter speed, but the defense couldn’t seem to ever put a good hit on him.
