David Sills is famous. He's famous because he was the quarterback Lane Kiffin offered in 7th grade when he was the head coach at USC. He's famous because he committed shortly thereafter to the Trojans when he was five years away from signing a Letter of Intent. And he's famous because Steve Sarkisian essentially dumped him when he took over at USC and he landed as a quarterback commit to West Virginia in the 2015 class.

When I first heard of the offer in 7th grade, I rolled my eyes. When I watched the film of the 7th-grade Sills throwing the ball, I didn't see anything that warranted such an early offer. And I watched Sills grow and develop over the years as a player in games and camps with excellent accuracy and field vision, but an arm that never became elite.

But there was one thing I didn't know about Sills and that was this -- he's a heckuva athlete. Sills was always a tall, thin kid who handled himself with amazing maturity throughout the process, simply a great kid. He fooled around here and there catching passes from teammates, but every time I saw him he was at quarterback. So when I saw him last weekend catching passes for West Virginia, including a 35-yard touchdown, I had to double check the WVU roster a few times to make sure it was really Sills. And I was thrilled for the kid. So many haters and naysayers in his ear since that offer and commitment, so much venom spewed at him and his Eastern Christian Academy team by others in the state of Maryland and around the country and now he's delivering. He might not be tossing passes just yet for the Mountaineers, that should come in time, but for this kid to step on the field as a wideout and make such an immediate impact impresses the heck out of me. If you had told me this would happen way back in 2010 when he committed as a 7th grader I would have laughed. But now Sills is getting the last laugh or hopefully the first of many.
