'The note was accompanied by a small red-and-white Hoosiers pen that Jackson proudly showed around school, then place in a trophy case back home.'
The Last Folk Hero: The Life and Myth of Bo Jackson"In the aftermath of his personal decimation of Brookwood, the first recruiting letter arrived. It was sent via the University of Indiana, and signed by the head coach Lee Corso...""The vague wording was nothing to get overly excited about, but Jackson was blown away by the nifty letterhead, by the praise of his game. Really, that a school located some five hundred miles to the north knew of his existence.
Jackson didn't use that pen to sign with the Hoosiers, instead opting for a two-hour drive to Auburn for college, where he won the 1985 Heisman Trophy. No Hoosier player has ever won the Heisman, though in 1989Jackson went onto superstardom, playing both football and baseball professionally, had the"Bo Knows" Nike ad campaign and was the greatest Tecmo Bowl character of all-time.
