FAU's Lane Kiffin offers scholarship to another middle schooler, per report

Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin may have cornered the market on middle-school football talent.

According to a Fox Sports report, Kiffin offered a scholarship to Pierce Clarkson, a quarterback that just finished sixth grade. Clarkson’s offer comes less than a month after Kiffin extended an offer to Kaden Martin, a seventh-grade quarterback.

Clarkson is the son of Steve Clarkson, a California-based quarterback coach, while Martin is the son of Tee Martin, USC’s offensive coordinator.

Clarkson is set to graduate in 2023; Martin, in 2022. Kiffin’s five-year contract at FAU finishes after the 2021 season.
