If accurate, then this is a very important point for OP and her son to consider/investigate.
Also, how good is your son at football ? If he is finishing up at a 2 year school in a skill position (cornerback) and not being recruited, then it is not safe to assume that he will play, or even make the team, in Division 1.
To the best of my knowledge, most D-1 college football players are recruited or are offered “preferred walk-on” status. Even those with “preferred walk-on” status have a struggle to get playing time.
This raises the issue as to what is your son’s priority ? Football or acting ?
