Some guys are great athletes. Some guys are students of the game.
Adam Ewy is both. That’s why he can switch from quarterback to tailback and deliver an explosive performance like he did in Hartford’s season-opening win over Flinthills last Friday.
Ewy, a junior, was Hartford’s quarterback last season. After projected starting tailback Tommy Smith — whom coach David Wasylk calls Hartford’s best player — sprained his ankle in the Jaguars’ scrimmage, Wasylk decided to do a little shuffling. Smith’s backup, Mike Wilson, has been battling a knee injury, and Wasylk had already been planning to use junior John Payton as a second quarterback to share time with Ewy (pronounced EH-vee). So Payton took over at QB against Flinthills and Ewy, in Wasylk’s words, moved to tailback “kind of... by default.”
