Dual sport path nets Blue Jays outfielder Neal net gain
D J Neal, an outfielder for the Bluefield Blue Jays, played baseball and football at South Carolina under Steve Spurrier before Spurrier retired and Will Muschamp took over. A 2017 Toronto Blue Jays draft pick, Neal moved on after a JUCO stint and a choice between sports, ultimately sticking with baseball. He is from Stone Mountain Georgia and was once noted for athleticism and potential comparable to Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward.
