Is Jake Locker Going To Play Baseball?

Apparently there's a controversy brewing over at Montlake started by the voice of the Huskies' Bob Rondeau. According to USC play-by-play man Pete Arbogast, Rondeau told him that Jake Locker "may not be back" next year, instead choosing to play baseball professionally.

This is the same Locker who is currently out with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. For him to switch over to baseball at this time seems unlikely, if not ridiculous. The guy had an opportunity to sign a baseball contract right out of high school. Instead, he chose to go to Washington and play for a struggling football program.

The kid is all-world classy, always saying and doing the right thing. It is not in his character to turn his back on his teammates and commitment to UW for his own monetary gain. Don't expect Jake Locker to running around a baseball diamond this summer, unless of course, its for the Bellingham Bells once again.
