SALT LAKE CITY — If running back Raleek Brown accepts a scholarship offer to play football for BYU, the earliest he would suit up for the Cougars is 2022.

While that isn't unusual for players to have a belated beginning at BYU because of missions, Brown's delay would be for another reason.

The standout playmaker from Stockton, California, isn't scheduled to graduate from high school for another four years.

Despite only being 14 years old, Brown recently received an offer from Kalani Sitake's staff, according to his social media accounts.

I hear it’s really hard to get a scholarship offer in High School so I know Im really blessed to get my first offer in the 8th Grade From BYU!
