Just went thru thread, and I know its a couple years old but kinda wild how dudes were soo dismissive that a football player can have his masters at that age.. Game has changed ALOT in last 15 years or so.. ALOT of money/support poured into the players esp at the big D1 level. Even in high school the top programs have the kids taking practice act/sat test as early as their freshman year, they get them taking the test by soph year.
These kids taking college classes in high school, 10 years ago a signed class might have 1 or 2 players enrolled early. Now half of classes are enrolling in January. That means they graduated high school early, which most likely means they already have some college credits. They enroll early, take summer classes A and B while kids are off for summer because they are on campus anyways preparing for season, lifting/training, have tutors and the coaches stay on them heavy. If a kid is smart, have college credits early, enrolled early, they can graduate before junior year ends! Only thing I will say is coaches and programs dont really try to push them into demanding majors but if you understand the game you can maximize that full scholarship to your benefit.
