Walk into the family home of Greyson Metz, and the first thing you notice is a washer/dryer covered with magnetized baseball and football cards.
There’s one of little Greyson, perhaps 10, kneeling in a red jersey and cradling a football. He’s wearing glasses.
“Oh, God, I’m blind,” Metz jokes of his minus-7 prescription.
Blind? Or does he see something the rest of us don’t?
Metz is 17 now, a senior at Glenbard West in Glen Ellyn. He’s a 6-foot-3, 205-pound linebacker who was named Defensive Player of the Year in the West Suburban Conference. He was offered a full scholarship by Syracuse, Louisville, Cincinnati and Iowa, which won 10 games this fall and develops players so well, 29 Hawkeyes dotted NFL rosters to start the 2019 season.
