I would think that 10% of their football team has a legitimate shot at the NFL, and 50% is probably D1 caliber.
Let's move the decimal place here. Even at historically established football powerhouses like Mater De, Bosco, Aquinas, etc, their players have a <1% chance of making it to the NFL.
Let's take IMG for example since they have the most amount of active players in the NFL. IMG started playing football in 2013. They currently have 21 active NFL players and 31 players ever drafted. Let's UNDER exaggerate and say that every year they have at least 100 kids in the football program across their multiple teams (they have far more). So 1200 athletes in 12 years, only 31 made the NFL. That's roughly 2.5%...
No way STJ's current roster 5xs the odds.
Do you not understand the difference between legitimate shot and actual percentages?
Much can happen in 4 years of college so it makes perfect sense that the team has 10% with a legitimate shot as a HS senior which translates to 1% actually making the NFL as college grads.
Do you understand that you think 1 out of every 5 players at STJ has a legitimate shot of making it to the NFL?![]()
Are you capable of simple math? 10% is of course not 1 out of 5.
The top 10% of players on a team ranked in the top 20 in the nation in fact at that point in time have a legitimate shot at the NFL at that moment in time. They are 4 star and 5 star recruits.
Will 10% make it to the NFL? Of course not.
There is not a single player ranked a 4 or 5 star by ESPN, 247, or any other ranking service on STJ…
STJ is also not ranked in the Top 20 in the nation. MaxPreps ranking is all that matters.
STJ is ranked 6th in VA. Are you insinuating there’s 6 VA teams ranked in the Top 20 nationally?
Yeah but they are the best team in Virginia.
Based on your opinion. But ranked by people who actually know what they’re talking about, they’re the sixth best team in VA.
I mean...they are ranked #2 in the DMV and absolutely destroyed Good Counsel. I am sure a game against Dematha would have been a great game...hopefully they schedule more WCAC teams next year.
Are all the top VA football teams in southern VA?
Good Counsel went 6-5 during a down year, not exactly a great measurement benchmark.
Yes, the top 5 Virginia teams are outside the DMV.
Still waiting for someone to post all the 4 & 5 stars that STJ supposedly has![]()
Or where they’re ranked in the Top 20 in the nation![]()
People just spew the most uninformed crap on here lol
It’s their first year in existence…what other measurement do you want? Their only loss was to the #2 ranked HS team in the country who I am sure would have destroyed any team in the DMV or the entire state of VA (which you know is true).

I would think that 10% of their football team has a legitimate shot at the NFL, and 50% is probably D1 caliber.
That’s a high number. I don’t think it’s that high
40% playing in college is probably a good baseline, D1 probably not.
St Frances Academy in Baltimore claims that nearly every kid is offered a D1 scholarship (at least they did in 2022)...with their stars of course receiving multiple D1 offers.
They are the #1 ranked HS team in the country...SJA is in the top 50 in the country.
I would think 50% getting offered a D1 scholarship is accurate.
Since it is their first year let's see, but I also don't think the SFA claim is what you might think it is. "Offered" doesn't mean that's where the player ended up, and offers aren't all the same, few are legitimately committable.
SFA is insane, TSJ is aiming for that.
Offered means they could have attended the school…not sure what point you are trying to make.
Also not understanding when you say “offers aren’t all the same”.
It’s D1 football which means all offers are 100% scholarship. The difference now is that the GA QB may have NIL and direct payment deals worth several million, while the Fordham QB just gets 100% scholarship.
This is embarrassingly inaccurate. Lets break it down:
All D1 offers are NOT 100% scholarship. Not even close. In fact, the vast majority are partial. More often than not, these D1 "offers" that these kids post on their IG's and Twitters are non-committable and would require the player to pay out of pocket to go to that teams camp and perform well enough to earn an actual offer, etc. Let's not even dive into the fact that these "full ride scholarships" are 1 year contracts and not for the entirety of said players college career, which many players don't initially realize.
Post rules changes in July 2025, colleges can now use NIL funds to pay tuition and effectively exceed the amount of "scholarships" they are allowed to give out. Depending who else is on the roster and the deals made to those kids, that Fordham QB may also be getting his "scholarship" through NIL.
Colleges "offer" kids non committable offers all the time. Sometimes to help kids get more exposure, fear of missing out on a player, and most often as favors to high school head coaches for exposure of their program in general. It's all about relationships. More often than not, if a kid has a dozen + offers, easily over 50% of them are non-committable.
You ever see a kid with an offer from HUGE programs but for some reason they end up going to smaller schools? This is the reason why. Non-committable offers.
- signed an ex-college athlete, grad assistant, and current high school football coach and recruiting coordinator of 10+ years.
100% of D1 football players receive 100% scholarship…yes, on one year at a time contracts. Are you actually trying to refute that fact?

That’s a high number. I don’t think it’s that high
40% playing in college is probably a good baseline, D1 probably not.
St Frances Academy in Baltimore claims that nearly every kid is offered a D1 scholarship (at least they did in 2022)...with their stars of course receiving multiple D1 offers.
They are the #1 ranked HS team in the country...SJA is in the top 50 in the country.
I would think 50% getting offered a D1 scholarship is accurate.
Since it is their first year let's see, but I also don't think the SFA claim is what you might think it is. "Offered" doesn't mean that's where the player ended up, and offers aren't all the same, few are legitimately committable.
SFA is insane, TSJ is aiming for that.
Offered means they could have attended the school…not sure what point you are trying to make.
Also not understanding when you say “offers aren’t all the same”.
It’s D1 football which means all offers are 100% scholarship. The difference now is that the GA QB may have NIL and direct payment deals worth several million, while the Fordham QB just gets 100% scholarship.
This is embarrassingly inaccurate. Lets break it down:
All D1 offers are NOT 100% scholarship. Not even close. In fact, the vast majority are partial. More often than not, these D1 "offers" that these kids post on their IG's and Twitters are non-committable and would require the player to pay out of pocket to go to that teams camp and perform well enough to earn an actual offer, etc. Let's not even dive into the fact that these "full ride scholarships" are 1 year contracts and not for the entirety of said players college career, which many players don't initially realize.
Post rules changes in July 2025, colleges can now use NIL funds to pay tuition and effectively exceed the amount of "scholarships" they are allowed to give out. Depending who else is on the roster and the deals made to those kids, that Fordham QB may also be getting his "scholarship" through NIL.
Colleges "offer" kids non committable offers all the time. Sometimes to help kids get more exposure, fear of missing out on a player, and most often as favors to high school head coaches for exposure of their program in general. It's all about relationships. More often than not, if a kid has a dozen + offers, easily over 50% of them are non-committable.
You ever see a kid with an offer from HUGE programs but for some reason they end up going to smaller schools? This is the reason why. Non-committable offers.

100% of D1 football players receive 100% scholarship…yes, on one year at a time contracts. Are you actually trying to refute that fact?
