A majority of the sports world has stopped during a global pandemic, with one notable exception: college recruiting.
The NCAA has prohibited in-person contact with recruits until at least April 15. However, telecommunication and social media have allowed coaches to work remotely and continue offering scholarships — to football prospects like Eaglecrest’s Kaden Weatherby.
The 6-foot-6, 265-pound sophomore offensive lineman woke up Sunday morning with the biggest news to date from his recruitment. Weatherby, with scholarship offers from Colorado State and Kansas in hand, added another from a familiar face in a different place. It was Michigan State offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic, formerly on the CU Buffs’ staff, who presented Weatherby a spot in the Spartans’ 2022 signing class.
