I get that, but in my experience, a lot of football players seem to be intentionally held back for sports and not because they are failing school., which gives them the advantage of being more physically and mentally mature vs the people they are playing. Just wondering if this kid is 16 or will be the same as the average age of incoming non sports Freshman at their college this Fall.

Parents are doing that starting in preschool so their kids are a year older from the get go for all sports. I almost wish I’d have done that with my boys. There’s a big difference between 16, 17 and 18.

Lincoln County's secret for all those years was holding kids back in kindergarten. I kid you not. The assistant head coach was also the elementary PE teacher and hed be scouting kids in kindergarten lol.
