The Lagerville Loggers most highly recruited player in the history of Lagerville High School signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to play football for the Colorado State University (CSU) Rams.
Colorado State Coach Steve Fairchild said he nearly slipped out of his chair when he received the fax from KC “Futbol” Jocklin early on Wednesday morning, the first day players can sign LOIs (Letter of Intents).
“Although I have a slippery chair and slip out of it quite often,” Fairchild said, “ I do think the surprise of landing a recruit the caliber of KC “Futbol” Jocklin caused the slippage this time. Wide receivers like KC don’t come around very often.We should be able to put his capabilites to good use.I predict he’ll be a favorite of new quarterback Pete Thomas, as he’ll be asked to bring cups of gatorade to him and all the other players. With his speed he should be able to run as fast as he can with a tray of gatorade cups and still not spill them.”
The 5’7” 134 pound slow wide-receiver, the Logger’s best player, used his 5.1 40 speed to get him down to the fax machine at Lagerville General as soon as possible first thing Wednesday morning.
“Sometimes sendin’ faxes is tricky, so I wanted t’ git down there early in case I dialt wrong or th’ paper jammed. Then I’d have all mornin’ t’ git it taken care of so I could go fishin’ down t’ Tommy’s Pond.”
KC "Futbol" Jocklin signs Letter of Intent to fax later that morning.
Jocklin, who is an avid fisherman, stated that his choices had been narrowed down to Colorado State University, Charleston Southern University, and Columbus State University.
“ It came down to that it just felt right in m’ heart t’ choose CSU over CSU and CSU,” said KC, “ I certainly hope I had th’ right fax number.”
“That’ll be 50 cents for the fax!!” cried LC Parker.
Jocklin lead his team in receptions with 13 receptions for 130 yards (a ten yard average) and one touchdown during his Senior season as the captain of the Loggers 1-6 football squad that narrowly missed the playoffs.
As KC "Futbol" Jocklin left Lagerville General after the historic fax, he commented that LC Parker could collect the 50 cents from Colorado State University.
