Yes, smart. But 20 years from now he might be thinking what if and have some regrets.
But the kid did finish on top. I think he could be a D1 wide receiver.

Make what you think is the best decision at the time and never look back. I advised both of my sons not to play college ball because of the additional wear and tear on the body (and trust me, it's much greater in college than it was in high school) and because of all the things I missed due to the time required to play college football. If you go to a challenging college academically and play sports, something has to give. For me it was the opportunity to get involved in other extra curricular activities.

Frankly I fully understand Donovan's choice.

Great young man and one heck of a leader. This kid will do great things with his life and is someone whom I think will be a great contributor to society and his community in his adult life.

Best of luck to Donovan and many thanks for his numerous contributions to Highlands and its football program.
