Corey Ballentine has had uphill battles—none that he has not been able to overcome—the moment he decided football was one of his goals in life. Of the New York Giants rookies, Ballentine’s story is unique.
Coming Out of High School
Ballentine started off as a no-star recruit on all recruiting platforms (247Sports, Rivals, etc.). He had essentially no scout looks, and his football career, at the time, was looking pretty bleak. The Kansas native had no Division I offers. At this point, most prospects would look to go the FCS route, but Ballentine received no offers there as well.
