Let’s list out a few FBS/D1-A schools...
- Louisiana-Lafayette
- Miami (FL)
Want to know why we’re laughing at those schools? Because they passed on a kid who scored 59 touchdowns as a senior in high school. A kid who was Mr. Football for the State of North Carolina. A kid who rushed 109 times for 1,404 yards (12.9 yards/carry) and 39 TDs that year and also caught 49 passes for 932 yards (19.0 yards/reception) and 16 TDs more.
They all passed on him because they either thought he was too small or they weren’t imaginative enough to figure out how or why to use a guy who scores touchdowns, then scores more touchdowns, and follows that up by scoring a few more touchdowns just because they come so easy to him.
