As long as they aren’t opting out of College Football and play for Miami I’m good with whatever
Not sure how I feel about this. I get college athletes doing this to preserve their potential payday with the NFL, but a high school athlete playing football?! Weird. I hope this doesn't become a normal thing among the blue chip recruits. Senior seasons are vital to monitor recruit development and prioritizing recruits.
They're bound to your scholarship, feeding you, housing you, and in the ACC I'm pretty **** sure still providing academic support even if you retire because of injury. You can't quit, you have to medically retire. But as we saw with Phillips, you can medically un-retire and pop right back up and become a 1st round draft pick again.
Players that love the game and enjoy competing don't sit out. To me it is a flag.
If the kid is already opting out of HS when he doesn't have much to lose, what makes you think he won't opt out in the future when he'll have more to lose by playing ball?
You resign your scholarship every year.
247 comments imply it wasn’t a business decision but an issue between him and his hs coach or coaches

Didn't read the comments, only read the article. If it's really due to conflict with coaching, why not transfer to another area school? Seems but childish and petty but then again he is a child.
Didn’t you read what I sent you? It cannot be canceled from a renewal for injury. All non renewed scholarships are up for appeal. Also medical DQs don’t count against #s so why cancel it anyway?
Yeah just like players aren’t suppose to get paid but they do bro I’m sure he got some reassurance lol and even if Texas falls thru he can still go somewhere skipping his senior szn
First of all, no athletic department is going to have a signed LOI before permitted dates. That would be a lack of institutional control offense.
Yes i get that part so i won’t argue that but I’m sure he got a nice bag to be sitting out or something worth sitting out your senior yr
Why would someone pay him to sit out? More likely, they said ‘okay.’ Not ‘please do it.’
A bag to sit out your senior year of HS?! That doesn't make sense to me bro. By all accounts, he's a good player but by no means is he the 2nd coming of Adrian Peterson. He might not even start or be a significant contributor his freshman year at Texas so why would Texas pay him to sit out?
