I contacted one coach (nice guy) and have already received a reply that he will talk to a guy(coach?) at McCracken named Marc about the kid. Apparently he knows the guy. I also forwarded the link on to another coach in Memphis who is also a good guy. Elijah needs to get that ACT score up. Just like football, practicing and taking the ACT gets better scores which leads to better opportunities and academic scholarship money while playing sports. If he can pull a 3.95 GPA then a 26-30 ACT score shouldn't be out of the question if he is serious about college and college football. The St. Louis school will require a minimum of around a 30 ACT score (I know this from experience) and would probably provide the better scholarship of the two. The Memphis school is not as strict on their academic credentials as the St. Louis school, is an excellent school, but the boy will probably be more out of pocket on tuition than with the St. Louis School. Both schools reputations open doors for graduates and require a lot of academic effort as well as athletic effort.

Good luck to him!

Dang needing a 30 on the ACT?!! That must be one tough school to get in. Best wishes for the kid. Always like seeing kids who want to make on the next level putting in the work and succeeding
