My son is literally the only one playing every Friday night with his heart. Most on his team are complacent and head coach is unwise. He is 6'1, 165 and excels at DE, plays reciever and quarterback. Probably only runs a 4.7 at best. What makes him so good is his HEART. He gives it everything the whole game.
He doesn't expect scholarships and it isn't the end of his life. He will excel after football. That still does not make it easy. It just is what it is. No one needs a 6'1, 165 lb 4.7 white guy no matter how sharp his skills and knowledge about the game are.
My son is well rounded, excels in other areas, already has post high school plans.......but that won't make life any easier this week. Maybe you could blame his parents or grandparents and their genetics.
To add: He may get some scholarship offers, but he isn't going to sacrifice his career and life choices for D3 or a junior college that won't help him later in life.
