LSU offers football scholarship to rising 8th grader

Soon-to-be 8th grader Dylan Moses offered LSU Tigers scholarship - ESPN

This is crazy but look at the numbers. Kid's name is Dylan Moses, he is 14, and in the Class of '17.

"I was kind of shocked when I first heard it -- it was a dream come true," Moses, 14, said. "I've always wanted to play for LSU since I was a kid, and now it's coming true in front of my eyes."

His workout numbers certainly don't reflect that youth. In addition to the blistering 40 time [4.46], the 6-foot, 205-pound middle schooler posted a broad jump of 9 feet, 3 inches and a 34-inch vertical leap. Impressive as they were, the latter two weren't so surprising to his father.

"I already knew that he could jump the 34-inch vertical, and we were actually working toward 9 feet in the broad jump. I didn't think it was going to come then, but I felt it coming," Edward Moses said. "The 40 -- that blew me away. I wasn't expecting a 4.46 40-yard dash."

Can we say LSU lock?

No because if he doesn't pan out or gets hurt LSU will drop him in a heart beat.

I hate when I fear berating from the board for using italics to denote my sarcasm LOL.

Exactly what I was thinking Brecks.

Holy crap. No he doesn't.

Isn't he a year older than his grade though? I mean it would depend on his birth date I know but I was 14 in the fall and 15 in the spring during my freshman year in high school. He hasn't even started 8th grade and he's already 14.

 

[BeauBenken]

Is he one of those 8th graders who is really like 17?

Washington accepted a commitment today from a 14 year old, 8th grade QB. Crazy to me. I just don't get it.

I think it should regulated that scholarship offers for football cannot be extended until after your first high school football season. That just seems logical to me. The NCAA? That's a whole other form of logic there.

You should be entering high school when 14... I'd love to know when this cat's birthday is.

He is listed at 5-11, 180 pounds, via the e-mail. He turned 14 in January.

Ummm? Isn't he still a kid? haha

 

[Grahambo]

The NCAA needs to step in and limit offering of scholarships until at least to the start of someone's sophmore season. This is just ridiculous.

 

[tadman95]

Get him on campus!

Is Les Miles going to talk smack about him if he changes his mind?

Even some 8th graders have the chest LSU demands.

How old was that QB from DC Kiffy offered a couple of years ago?

That was a few years ago, David Sills, he still is only going to be a sophomore this year.

 

[irishfanjho15]

How old was that QB from DC Kiffy offered a couple of years ago?

I believe he was 12 at the time.

Danny Almonte...

So Kiffy still has Les beat...lol

So Kiffy still has Les beat...lol

Kiffy is more than Les?

 

[koonja]

Is it too early to offer Floyd and Teo's future first born sons?

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Kiffy is more than Les?

lol

This is so, so creepy. I feel gross just reading about it. Coaches shouldn't be talking to middle school kids unless it's at a camp.

That's all Les cares about in a QB. "Sure, that's a nice 40 time. But how much do you bench, bro?"

fify?

Danny Almonte...

Outstanding!

Even the coaches that are coaching them? Coaches shouldn't talk/instruct their kids unless they just happen to show up at a camp together by chance and then it's ok to talk/instruct them? Just trying to get a base line as to how creepy it really is.

What do you think these a-holes that coach AAU are doing? I don't see that as any different but most think they're getting kids exposure at the highest level. I think it's crap.

How many time will Les interview with Michigan before this kid even gets a diploma.
