He must be a really good football player

Want to find an instant way to get your football scholarship offer revoked? I think Orson Charles may have found a way:

Plant High School tight end Orson Charles may be known as an outstanding football player, but now he’ll likely be better known as the person who broke the Gators' 2006 BCS National Championship trophy.

It seems Charles was at the University of Florida this past weekend for a NIKE-sponsored camp when he accidentally knocked over the handcrafted Waterford crystal trophy outside of football coach Urban Meyer’s office.The trophy, valued at $35,000, shattered when it hit the ground. The good news for Charles is that the trophy was insured.

Charles, who has more than a dozen scholarship offers including one from Florida to play college football, will be a senior next season at Plant.
