Arthur is a big kid and his mother pushes him to excel. If he concentrates and does well in school he will go far. Good luck Arthur.

Big dreams for Doakes
Full story: Lebanon Daily News
Turns out that Arthur Doakes III is a pretty big deal. But for the Lebanon football program, big deals have almost become common place.

The key is ACADEMICS. Not sports.
No mention in the article about his GRADES, his learning skills, or his career interests in life after football. College is only discussed as a portal for football. I hope it's more than that. I hope Plan A includes LEARNING and STUDYING, and Plan B includes an EDUCATION. |

Arthur has never been suspended for grades. First of all, when the season begins, Lebanon usually has 45 to 50 kids out for football. When the season ends, they have approximately 25 to 30 kids on the team. Same ole' story - academics. However, Arthur has completed every season to this date, showing me he does have the mental capability to compete in the classroom and definitely the physical capability to perform on the football field at the divsion I leve.

Looking at his video online, he fits what the Pitt Panthers want on their offensive line. I'm pleased to see they showed confidence in him early with an offer. Let's hope that helps their chances over schools that wait to evaluate him. Hopefully he can see through that. You can't better than Pitt's offensive line coach Wise.
