Dayton football coach Rick Chamberlin received a recruiting tip about a top linebacker at Ada High School a few years ago and drove to a practice to get a glimpse for himself.
But the prospect, Chris Beaschler, spent the day in the trenches at offensive guard, which wasn't a good sign. The kind of athletic ability needed to play linebacker at UD's level typically isn't found there.
Chamberlin was ready to write off the visit as a wasted trip, but the Ada coach intervened.

The 2016 Ada football campaign started off with a bang as the high-octane Bulldog offense scored 38 unanswered points, propelling the Dogs to an easy 38-6 victory over the visiting Upper Scioto Valley Rams.
Returning Junior quarterback Seth Conley threw for 308 yards and 5 touchdowns in his first action since week four of last season.
ADA - The Ada volleyball team swept visiting local arch-rival Upper Scioto Valley Tuesday night in a non-league match.
The victory improved the Lady Bulldog record to 3-1, while USV fell to 0-3.
The Lady Rams were scrappy and threatened in the final two sets but Ada overcame USV 25-7, 25-23, 25-20.
"We served hard and with good placement," said Ada head coach Melissa Gossard. "We came out on fire in the first set."
Junior Melina Woods led Ada with a dozen kills, 16 digs and added two aces. Classmate Maddie Gossard passed out 15 assists, served five aces and hit four kills.
