Of course, the year was 2005 and hardly anyone thinks the same about Jason Gwaltney now as they did three years ago. As it is, the academically troubled Gwaltney is no longer with WVU and is instead at C.W. Post.

In a stunning development on the local college scene, Newsday has learned that former superstar running back Jason Gwaltney has enrolled at Division II C.W. Post and may play this Saturday when Post hosts Indiana (Pa.) in its inaugural Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference game.

One of the all-time great leads, I say. Stunning development because there was no way he’d be eligible this season and maybe even next and, quite frankly, who could blame Gwaltney for not wanting to wait around more than he already has? It must be said that every report I received said he was not only in tremendous shape, but also a completely different person since his latest return in the spring and had taken Bill Stewart’s personal challenges to heart. Best of luck as he attempts to get his untapped talent back on track.
