Balloon, a 6-foot, 212-pound fullback, has seen his scholarship offers
go from two to nine in recent weeks following an impressive summer camp showing.
Balloon had longstanding offers from Northwestern and South
Florida, but has since added Auburn, Indiana, Wisconsin, Boston College, N.C.
State, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest to the mix.
"It's really picked up,"
he said. "I have a lot of choices right now, a lot of good schools to think
about. But I'm still keeping everything open because there's some schools I'm
hoping will stick with me and keep recruiting me hard."
Among those are
Florida, Florida State, Miami, Virginia Tech and Tennessee. The Hokies have
always been his personal favorite, but haven't shown much interest late this
summer.
"Florida just let me know that they have interest in me," Balloon
said. "That was great to hear because they have a great program and exactly what
I'm looking for in education (veterinary medicine)."
One of many top-notch
athletes at Jefferson this year, Balloon combines athleticism (4.45 forty) with
academics (3.5 GPA).
