Deon Colvin (Cleveland/John Hay) is trying to start his own pipeline. Playing in the shadows of Glenville, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound junior wide receiver knows all about the Tarblooders.
The school known for sending 19 athletes since 2002 to Ohio State, Colvin uses the white, black and red uniforms for that added push after a season in which he recorded 500 receiving yards and score 13 touchdowns.
