[quote=Anonymous][quote]Olivia Moultrie is only 13 years old, but she is already embarking on a career as a professional soccer player.

According to Andrew Keh of the New York Times, Moultrie signed an endorsement deal with Nike and a representation pact with Wasserman Media Group. As a result, she's no longer eligible to play collegiately, which is notable given she already made history two years ago by accepting a scholarship offer from the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Keh noted Moultrie, then 11 years old, was the youngest girls soccer player to publicly accept a scholarship offer.

"It's just a shift in women's sports," Moultrie's agent, Spencer Wadsworth, said while revealing the offer the teenager received from Nike was worth more than the four-year scholarship. "You see it more and more now where women's soccer is catching up to the men's side, and there's more opportunities for them."[/quote]
