"It is Mr Eisheid’s dream to be picked by the college team at Georgia Tech to follow in the footsteps of fellow Melburnian and NFL star Adam Gotsis, now of the Denver Broncos."
Coach Caleb Morgan, 21, saw potential in the “gentle giant” 16-year-old as a defensive end, one of the defence positions that requires big people.
On Monday Mr Eischeid is moving to Utah to finish high school playing gridiron with the LCA Eagles, hoping to be scouted* into a big US college and then to the NFL.
They worked hard in the gym, the kitchen and in Skype conversations with American coaches before locking down the US deal.
“He is one of the scariest looking kids but he is quiet so it was a learning curve with him talking to coaches,” he said.
“I do think he has the potential to be something big and impressive.”
