[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So surprised people are so skeptical. It really is happening. Son’s friend played travel soccer for years as goalie and field player,  rec basketball (has been asked to try out by many club basketball teams), summer swim team, and other rec sports. He had always been very tall, built, and is fast. Always excelled in sports.

He started playing in football for the first time in hs. He was over 6 foot as a freshman and has great foot skills from soccer. Started playing varsity football as a freshman. This was right after COVID so not sure how that affected how many varsity spots. He is being recruited now by top schools. He is smart and taking the mainly the most rigorous path but not perfect straight A’s. He is 6’4”.  He is absolutely being recruited by Ivy League football teams and other top universities as a junior. [/quote]

Yeah, here is the diff:

Your son’s friend excels at sports. You know of ONE person like this.

OP:

1. Knows of kidS like this from two diff schools.

2. Some Getting multiple offers.

3. Who play football “well enough (nothing spectacular).

This 100% is not happening. No school at this level is taking kids who play well enough.  but they're tall and athletic)

4. OP says these “elite universities are THRILLED to take these kids because they can do the academic work and fill a spot on their football roster.”

No, they are not thrilled. My kid is recruiting now. This is not how it works at any of these schools. Not one…

OP is lying. I am more than 100% certain.
