OT - Ferns parts ways with OSU because he wants to be a petroleum engineer (Front Page)

This was in the Recruiting Roundup, so if this is inappropriate, mods feel free to delete.

However, I was shocked (and pleased) to see that Ferns will not be a Buckeye because he wants to be a petroleum engineer! Apparently they don't offer the right curriculum, so it isn't going to happen.

Has a recruit with NFL potential ever decided against his favorite based on the major? I know it can be a final factor, but I'm not aware of any that have made it THE factor.

Good for him for making his post-football career a priority.
