Blessed and honored to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Dartmouth College!

I would like to thank God for without Him none of this would have been possible, I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support of my dream, Coach Patrick and so many others at Louisa County High School for putting me in this position, and, lastly, Coach McCorkle and the entire Dartmouth Football staff for believing in me!

#AGTG after a great conversation with @Coach_Yaya1 I’m forever blessed to receive my first d1 offer from @VMI_Football ⚪️🔴🟡 @coach_1906 @coachLeonScott1 @WillVapreps

[Will Vapreps Garlick @WillVapreps]

Coaches don't recruit based on your stats. Throwing 5 TD's against the worst team in the district doesn't make you a D1 player. 150+ tackles could mean you didn't make enough plays to get the offense off the field.

[Coach West @coachwwest]

There are 14,269 high schools playing 11-man football.

The Class of 2027 has roughly 267,000 players.

Only 215 are rated four-stars.

That’s about 1 out of every 1,240 players.

0.08%.

Roughly one four-star for every 66 high schools.

That’s how rare a four-star really is.

[Will Vapreps Garlick @WillVapreps]

Guess ⭐ do matter

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

$350K is the new floor for a four-star recruit — and it only goes up. @On3 surveyed GMs, agents & more on how June's OV season actually went.

“It feels like $350K was the starting price for a low four-star this year. ... There are no layups anymore in high school recruiting."
