Mark Purdy of The San Jose Mercury News published a profile of Trinity-Pawling Alumnus and Stanford Freshman, Shane Skov in last Wednesday’s paper (Stanford’s Interesting Freshman).

Purdy chronicles Skov’s development as an American football player in Mexico, to Trinity-Pawling School and now to Stanford.

“…From south of the border … to east of the Catskills… to roaming the stadiums of the Pac-10. Does any other freshman football player, anywhere, have such a fascinating saga?…” (SJMN)

With his training camp coverage, Purdy gives reader an idea of just how good Skov might be and how important he is to the Cardinal.

Jason Figueiredo-Dumpit further chronicles Skov and his prodigious talent at Bleacher Report (Stanford’s Shayne Skov Brings His Five-Star Talent Back to the Bay Area).
