Lee Otersen accepts football scholarship to VMI
Lee senior Chris Otersen has accepted a half-scholarship to the Virginia Military Institute. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Otersen was recruited by VMI as a quarterback, but will have a chance to try out as a wide receiver as well.
Im ecstatic, Otersen said. Ive been working my whole life to play college football.
VMI was looking for an experienced option quarterback, and the coaching staff liked what it saw out of Otersen, who started at that position for the first time in 2006.
His first year was just a taste of what he can do, Lancers coach Rob Everett said of Otersen, who played wide receiver on the varsity team as a sophomore and junior. Hes big, hes got good speed and hes a smart football player.
