CountingDown,
Yes, I do want to play football in college, I love football. If your son wants to play in college, give him this advice: Be persistent and aggressive. Make a highlight tape of his season and start sending it to colleges he’s interested in, you should probably send them in the Spring of this year, Don’t wait til his senior year. If he receives an email from a coach or a school, keep lines of communication open don’t be afraid to send an email every two weeks or so. This way the coach gets to know him and he gets to know the coach and the school and their intrest is peaked by the beginning of his football season and he can send them some game films. I play Offensive and Defensive Tackle, so coaches look for the same thing in our game films, tell him to play strong and play mean. Nothing illegal, don’t get his team penalized, but every head coach and offensive line coach I’ve talked to referred to one particular play that they really liked because it showed my aggression. Offensive line coaches like kids who play with a chip on their shoulder. But finally, tell him to figure out what kind of situation would be best for him. I like Chicago because it is a place that puts school first, and sports are a fun activity. It’s not that way at every school, even other D-III schools I’ve been recruited by, so it’s something he’ll have to decide for himself.

I hope I could be of some help! Good Luck!
