UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - In the process of making his college decision, Penn State alumnus Jim Haley was torn between two paths.
Haley was a star quarterback and free safety for Bonner and Prendergast Catholic High School in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania. He fielded offers to play for Temple, Delaware, Villanova and others.
When he wasn't slinging passes and hammering unsuspecting receivers, Haley was on the diamond. Haley batted .459 with two homeruns and 26 RBIs in his senior season. He visited Maryland, Virginia, Elon, Richmond and Penn State for baseball.
Most high school athletes begin to focus on one sport as college recruiting gets closer.
