I had the privilege of interviewing Chayse Handy a running back  and member of the 2014 football recruiting class. Chayse Handy is from Southwest High School in El Centro, California. He is 5′ 6″ and weights 155 pounds. Handy expresses intrest in Arizona State (ASU), California (Cal), San Diego State (SDSU), Southern Methodist University (SMU) and Texas Tech (TTU). Handy is being recruited as a running back. Handys secondary position is inside linebacker (ILB).I created a list of 12 questions that I believe our audience would find interesting about the life of a young football recruit. These are the questions that I asked Baker, followed with his answers.
