Casey Brockman ... All-American?

Checking out today's USA Today and its All-American baseball team produced a shock — Calloway County's Casey Brockman, named the First Region player of the year by area coaches and a first-team all-state selection, was named to the newspaper's second-team All-American squad.

Amazing, since Brockman hails from rural far western Kentucky and has exactly no Division I baseball offers, although nearby Tennessee-Martin has expressed some interest.

Brockman, who hit .564 with 21 extra-base hits in 91 at-bats for the Lakers, this spring, has been committed to join Murray State's football program as a walk-on quarterback, but things could change very quickly.

Don't be surprised if Brockman suddenly gets some Division I baseball interest — and decides to make a late change of heart in what sport he pursues at the college level.
