LSU offers sweet football scholarship to middle-school student

7/26/2012

Dylan Moses runs the 40-yard-dash in 4.46 seconds and has a vertical leap of 34 inches, so it's no surprise that the LSU Tigers would offer him a football scholarship. Well, other than the fact that he's 14 years old. The 6-foot, 205-pound middle schooler was attending an on-campus football camp when the coaching staff surprised Dylan, and his father, with the offer. "I thought that they were joking," dad Edward said. Dylan, who’s entering eighth grade, is looking forward to signing several years down the road. "I've … wanted to play for LSU since I was a kid," he said. Wait, SINCE you were a kid? You're still a kid! A kid who could kick our asses. [Source]
