Ransburg named KC Star All Metro Player of the Year

Harrisonville's Sean Ransburg was named the All Metro Player of the Year after leading the Wildcats to a third straight state title this season. This is big news on this site for three reasons:

1. Ransburg is Wildcat, and so was I. I've seen him several times in person and he was maybe the best high school player I've ever seen. A great choice for the award.

2. He'll be a Jayhawk this fall. No one has speculated on what position he'll play in Lawrence but I'd guess DB. He's got the frame and the arm strength to play QB, but will have to learn to set his feet when he throws if he wants to succeed at the next level.

3. His numbers were simply astounding. Over 2500 passing yards, over 1600 rushing yards and 58 total touchdowns....simply absurd. To put that in perspective, he was the leading passer in the metro and the 3rd leading rusher, simply amazing.

So congrats to Ransburg and to the Jayhawks for landing him, maybe it won't be the last award he wins as a football player.
