Frankly, I think you have many good options. You want to play FB. You want to go to college affordably. You want to serve.
As for the first two, have you actually been recruited by any schools? If this is your caliber, then milk it for what it’s worth. Find a good program and college and develop yourself there. Maybe do it while also getting into an ROTC/NROTC program or the reserves. Do you envision yourself leading our country’s young women and men in a dangerous profession? If real leadership is a natural strength of yours, push yourself to become an officer. But there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going the enlisted route as well (reserves).
You have options and many are not mutually exclusive. Good luck.
