"By midnight Monday, Bubba Starling will know his future. He will be playing football and baseball for Nebraska or become a member of the Kansas City Royals organization.

After the deadline to sign with the Royals passes, he would have to wait three years to begin a professional baseball career.

Starling, the No. 5 overall selection in June's draft, could received a contract worth in excess of $7 million.

In addition to being a standout pitcher and outfielder at Gardner Edgerton High just outside Kansas City, Starling also starred at quarterback. He ran for 2,471 yards and 31 touchdowns and threw for 812 yards and eight scores as a senior."
