i know 2 kids in my district who are very average intelligence who got recruited for football.



I’d say football and basketball are the exceptions. I’m generalizing here based off my own HS and some other stuff, but I’d say smarter students can generally be found in sports like tennis, swimming, golf, rowing, track/X-country, etc. And since football and basketball are the revenue sports, Stanford really can’t be as choosy.
