Max Wittwer could have taken the sure thing. After all, a full-ride athletic scholarship is as sure of a thing that any high school quarterback could ask for.
Yet, Wittwer has a dream to chase.
Just a few days ago, the Utica Eisenhower senior was preparing to sign with the United States Air Force Academy for today's National Signing Day festivities.
Instead, he is not signing a scholarship. Instead, he is sacrificing it for a preferred walk-on spot with the Michigan Wolverines. Some people might think Wittwer is crazy. He understands that.
"I know that there are people out there that think I'm crazy," Wittwer said over the phone.
