He is a high school freshman?
I’d say…wait and see what kinds if SAT or ACT scores he gets, and GPA. He might get decent merit aid somewhere where there is at least football to watch.
Good friend had a kid who wanted to play and went to Denison…with a great scholarship, and he played football.
There are options out there…but he’s a HS freshman. I’d say…this college talk is very premature.
