Former Duke point guard Greg Paulus will visit Syracuse this weekend and meet with coaches to explore the possibility of playing for the Orange football team, according to multiple internet reports.

Nebraska also has talked to Paulus about playing quarterback for the Cornhuskers, according to a report on the Omaha World-Herald's website.

Paulus played quarterback for Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse and was the 2005 Gatorade national high school football player of the year. He was offered football scholarships to Notre Dame and Miami (Fla.) before he chose to play basketball for the Blue Devils.

Last week he visited Michigan and was offered a spot on the team, which he reportedly will not take. Paulus also worked out for the Green Bay Packers.

If he receives a waiver from the NCAA to play football this season, Paulus would have one year of eligibility remaining.
