Thank you - sending you a PM with some more info. He qualified for the freshman section at Nike as a freshman, but didn’t meet the EE or championship standards this spring.
He’s looking for spots with at least 2000 kids (he thinks 5000 is his sweet spot), with good academics but not a super pressure-cooker. Most likely leaning towards the liberal arts, although Econ or applied math might be on the radar. Southern New England south as far as Georgia and west as far as maybe CO, although he is not sure if that might be too far. I’m trying to get some smaller D3s on his list to research that might be academic and possibly running fits (e.g. St Olaf), but that’s been hard.
This is all very helpful and it’s a relief to know he is likely not far behind. We’re working on getting his team to one out-of-state invitational and we’re discussing the plan for the post-season options but remaining focused on having a really great state meet first.
