It sounds like your child wants to play his sport (taking a year to rehab?) but go to a school with NMF scholarship. You’ll have to carefully thread that needle as he may not be able to play at a school with the NMS scholarship. Football at Alabama? Most likely not happening (but I know it isn’t football as that would be a full scholarship). Soccer at some schools? Really tough unless he’s been recruited to play at that school.

He may have to take the NMF schl., start school, and give up a year of eligibility (although he has 5 years to play 4, and honestly there are a million ways to get that year back) and try to be walk on.

Draw a Venn diagram: schools with NMF scholarship, schools where he can play his sport. See if there is any overlap.
