Looks like the phucks just signed this 4* wide receiver. Does anybody know if he is any relation to James Battle who played for the Beavers back in the late 90's?

Because he’s potentially related to a Beav? Is he? Not to the ND QB from the Fiesta Bowl? My question was whether he was related to James Battle who played wide receiver/flanker/whatever for the Beavs in the late 90's. One of the guys who sat in front of me in section 11 for years claimed he was going to be an absolute star but he never really delivered on that promise. Probably no relation but was just curious. I tried to find some info on the web but didn't see anything about his family. |

Because he’s potentially related to a Beav? Is he? Not to the ND QB from the Fiesta Bowl? This is exactly the point of the post. IS HE? It isn't unreasonable to think he could be his kid. James Battle was a senior in 1998, making him 22ish or so then. Miles, is a next year recruit, meaning he was born in 1999 or 2000. maybe 2001. It absolutely could be a relationship there. and the inter webs doesn't really have anything. Jonathon Smith was his QB. There are all kinds of potential connections. But, if there were, I'd think we'd hear about it. That is the kind of juicy connection the media loves. |

I would suspect if his father played at OSU it would be mentioned in nearly every article in Eugene about his commitment status.
Couldn't find anything about his parents other than they are both engineers.

Likely no relation but that name is prominent from my little slice of Section 11 history. |
