Trent Hosick: 'I want to play QB' 

Trent Hosick (Kansas City, Mo./Staley) won a state championship as a dual-threat quarterback in 2011. He’s being recruited as a quarterback, but because of his athleticism and versatility, there are schools looking to convert him into a running back, linebacker or safety.

Hosick said that while he is honored to receive the interest, his primary focus is to play quarterback in college. Stanford was one of the most recent schools pursuing the 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior and veering him away from the quarterback position, but it is Hosick’s dream to be a college signal-caller.

“It’s still a sense of, ‘Wow, what an honor,’” Hosick said of Stanford’s interest. “They brought in Barry Sanders Jr. at running back for the 2012 class, and they were interested in me at running back for the 2013 class.
