If you went P5 on Scholarship OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, Didn’t have to walk on, OR Was a 4/5 ⭐️ prospect. YOU ARE NOT A UNDERDOG.
JUCO, walk-ons , 3 stars and below that went P5, FBS, D1aa, D2, D3, NAIA, that can actually ball are Underdogs 💯 they actually slept on.

My cousin was a walk on at Samford .
We took him to Alabama state camp and he locked kids down. But no scholarship offer. Furman showed crazy interest in him but didn’t offer
Today he caught 2 picks on Furman, and has 4 turnovers in 3 games....
With 3 years of eligibility.

He’s technically still in high school, and he didn’t turn the ball over, is what I see…
We live in a country where ppl claim THEY WANT BETTER FOR THEIR KIDS, than them….
Yet y’all want to hate this kid cause his family name helped put him in a better position
If his name was Arch Smith, he’d be a 2-star going to a D3 school

For young athletes who are about to go to college. If you want to go pro you have to train every offseason like you are getting ready for the combine!
Don’t wait until the 3 months after your last career game to go bananas in the weight room! Every day is a step closer!
