[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only kid I know who will likely be 19 as a senior has been redshirted twice. Once before kindergarten and once in high school because of Covid. He's also one of the best quarterbacks in the country, also has multiple D1 offers to play football, he's a sophomore currently. He's not competing with the offspring of the uber competitive complainers here he's on a whole different trajectory. So I don't think this is common enough for people to worry about.[/quote]

Not very bright then?   Guess sports are more important than academics.  Not something to brag about.  [/quote]

Redshirted because of Covid? Hasn’t the whole world suffered from Covid? [/quote]

Because football was canceled due to Covid. Look, these are the types of kids likely to be 19. Is OP really worried about future quarterbacks?[/quote]

This makes zero sense.  [/quote]

What? A football obsessed kid didn't get to play football one year because the whole season was canceled. So he repeated a year of high school. For football. Thus he will be 19 when he graduates. What's not to understand? This is a rare reason why there might be someone that old in high school. Not one other person has offered any explanation why there might be a 19 y/o senior. Why do you think there are kids 19-20 in school if that's what the giant concern in this thread is about? Do you know any kids that old in school or is this whole thread a big to do about nothing?[/quote]

I don’t get why you would hold your child back for sports.  No football for one season,  if deal.  They can still train.  [/quote]

It’s not my child. Football is a different beast. It’s about actual play time and games. Training in a vacuum isn’t going to be the same. I wouldn’t expect most people here to understand. But you realize football is a big deal to universities, right? This shouldn’t be new information.[/quote]
