High School in Ohio showed the Notre Dame staff enough to earn a
scholarship offer.
Ball, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound prospect, spent most of his junior season
at the quarterback position, throwing for 1,232 yards and 11
touchdowns, and rushing for 298 yards.

likely see more action in the defensive secondary. He said he would
like to have a shot at playing quarterback in college, but realizes he
has enough talent to wind up on defense.

on the defensive side," Ball said. "My knack for the ball and my
