Per the Kansas City Star, Paulus chose to head to Syracuse to play college football, scorning Michigan and Nebraska to be back in the state where he became the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year at Manlius Christian Brothers Academy in 2005.
Paulus was considered by many pundits to be the best high school quarterback they had ever seen.
Since Paulus did not redshirt while at Duke, he held one year of eligibility in another sport and will fill an immediate need for the Orange.
