Perhaps the most tantalizing part of Savoury's potential for scouts is that he only seriously began playing football last season as a junior."I used to play in elementary school, all the way up to third grade," Savoury said."And then I kinda just stopped liking it for a little bit. Then, I played basketball so I've been playing basketball ever since third grade and, you know, I've been doing good in basketball.
"And my junior year, all the coaches at my high school were telling me to come out and I was a little hesitant at first but then, you know, a lot of the guys on the team encouraged me to play as well. And so, I took a chance and all praise to God, you know, he's blessed me and given me great opportunities."In fact, Savoury and Michigan State basketball target Trey McKenney helped lead the Eaglets to their first Division I state championship in March.
