[quote=Anonymous]Not many small private D1 football schools, and the ones that are small (Rice, Wake Forest, Colgate, Davidson) are pretty well known around here.  If you get a chance to go to one of those don't hesitate.  Just go.  They will provide lots of academic support and a great experience.

If it's a D2 then you have a different situation.  The small private ones are the better academic ones.  But you have a very wide spread of experiences.  D2 is unfortunately looked down upon in this area because most of the schools are in lower economic areas.  The better academic D2 schools are Northeast and Midwest like Bentley, Tiffin, Hillsdale, Michigan Tech, Findlay, Stonehill.  UVA Wise is a good semi-local choice.  Alderson Broadus in WVA recruits a number of local kids.

You would do well to have a discussion with someone who really knows the colleges.  If your son is good enough to play D1 then there are lots of opportunities throughout the spectrum.  A lot of kids go to plenty of D2 schools throughout the country that very few have heard of and have a great experience playing their sport and getting an education.  I would start with your coach and go from there.  If you have a list of schools there are many coaches around the area that can provide referrals for you to talk about experiences and don't be afraid to ask about the parent groups.  Most parent groups are happy to talk to you.  Good luck.[/quote]
