While most other freshmen spent their summers on the beach or saying long farewells to their high school girlfriends, aspiring wide receiver Kyle Cremarosa spent his last summer before college in Cambridge, working out with starting quarterback Brad Wilford.

Cremarosa lived in Grays Middle this summer and took summer school courses in psychology and expository writing while getting himself into shape for the football season. Besides the tosses with Wilford, Cremarosa worked out with fellow wide out Carl Backes.

The Sun Valley, Calif., native played wide receiver and safety in high school, was league MVP and was named to the All-Los Angeles Times Team. And although he says he originally hoped to play for a PAC-10 team, Harvard quickly became his first choice when the Ivy League teams came calling.
