Being six-foot-five, 206-pounds, you are expected to perform well on the football field. However, expectations are one thing, and backing it up is a complete other thing.
One of the kids who backs it up is 2015 St. Cloud (Fla.) athlete, Trevill Holcy.
Holcy, saw his recruitment really heat up these past two weeks, as he added scholarship offers from the Kentucky Wildcats and Miami Hurricanes; his first two offers.
Miami, who was Holcy's first offer, offered him on National Signing Day which made a huge impact on Holcy since they offered him early in the process. But how Holcy found out about the offer is a little comical.
"I was actually training my speed and agility at the time. So my coach then left training because he had to go catch a flight to a coaching clinic in New Jersey," said Holcy. "Then I saw his little hatchback (laughs) veer back to where I was training. He ran and got out of the car and handed me the phone and it was (Miami Hurricanes running backs) coach Hurlie Brown."
But what did coach Brown say to Holcy that made him so happy?
"Coach Brown was telling me all this stuff about how they had seen my highlight tape and we love you and we want you to become a 'Cane. So they offered me a full scholarship to the University of Miami and they let me know that I was at the top of their recruiting board for the H-Position," said Holcy.
According to Holcy, this offer essentially came straight out of nowhere.
"I didn't believe it really. It was like I wasn't receiving any attention. The attention would fade in, fade out, and then they just called and offered out of nowhere which was tremendous and so exciting," said Holcy.
Right now Holcy is playing 7-on-7 for a team called "Elite Recruits", based in the Orlando area.
Holcy says his 7-on-7 team is going to be taking a cross-country college tour sometime soon that will include visits to Miami, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Kentucky, and many more.
There are a couple things that Holcy would like to do before his senior season starts.
"I just want to simply get better, qualify, and definitely commit before my senior season," said Holcy.
Holcy reportedly just missed the cut to qualify by NCAA standards after his first SAT test and plans to take the test again very soon.
Motivation is definitely one thing that Holcy does not lack. Holcy is striving hard to be the first person in his family ever to graduate college which would mean the world to him he says.
The 'Canes coaching staff was very smart to hop on Holcy early in his recruitment. Landing this top-notch receiver who happens to run a 4.5 40-yard dash, would be a real good pickup for the 'Canes 2015 class.
