Newcomer Jared Bernhardt, who was the NCAA Division I National Lacrosse Player of the Year for Maryland this past spring, earned the starting nod at quarterback and accounted for seven touchdowns in his Bulldog debut. He ran for a game-high 120 yards and four scores on 12 carries while completing 12-of-14 throws for 218 yards and three TD's in his first collegiate gridiron contest

Best athlete since Jim Brown!!! Jesus!!

What about Patrick Kerney? Originally a UVA lacrosse recruit out of Taft in the mid 90s, play two years of lacrosse but ended up being a 1st round draft pick at DE. I believe he made a few pro bowls.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. When Dom Starsia reads about Evan Royster and the Penn State football team, one thought enters his mind: What if?

....On the first day coaches were allowed to contact recruits, Coach Dave Pietramala of Johns Hopkins woke Royster with a 7 a.m. phone call. Royster told Pietramala and others he had no plans to play college lacrosse. Royster soon stopped opening recruitment mail. When coaches called, he let voicemail messages accumulate on his cellphone.

“I think he would have been a first-team all-American,” Pietramala said in a telephone interview. “I think he’s terrific. I think he could have been great.

...Even though he has not played lacrosse in three years, Royster has an open invitation to join the Penn State team. Coach Glenn Thiel called Royster “the kind of guy that could make a difference” in any lacrosse program.”

Along the same lines as Kerney, there was Evan Royster who was a lacrosse player that ended up focusing on football instead. I thought he had been on the PSU lacrosse roster but I guess he had already chosen football before then. However, he did have a standing offer to join the lacrosse team.

Also, current 4-star Notre Dame qb recruit Tyler Buchner was a highly rated lacrosse player who could have been a good stretch shooter.
