Unless he’s injured next week.... in which case he’ll be flipping burgers.

Very small percentage of college players will make it to the pros. He’s only a 4-star recruit. Long way from being a millionaire.

But check this out:

20 colleges offered him scholarships and he picked A&M. So even if they yank the offer, some other team will have him there and won’t care.

When did kneeling become a protest symbol? I kneel in church to show my devotion and respect to our Lord while I am praying. How did these leftist idiots steal kneeling and make it an anti-American gesture?

Leftists hated Tebow for kneeling.

Kaepernick first just sat on the bench and didn’t participate. Later in the season he started kneeling.

Kaepernick said it was because America is racist and oppressive and wore cops as pigs socks in practice.

Now the Left, MSM, and the players want to tell us this has nothing to do with the flag and America? Obviously it does.

Texas A&M sends more officers to the USA military than any institution other than the big three acadamies. Not a good place to disgrace your country

Exactly.

Let’s see if FR can ‘be the change’ and get the scholarship offer yanked. He has another 20 schools lined up.

A&M just needs to go radio silent with this jerk and if in fact he’s had 20 other offers, he’ll de commit and slither elsewhere.

How many offers will he have after being declared cancer and having to sit out a year when he transfers?

Just a minor note - I don’t think he’s a scholarship recipient until signing day.

Re read the headline. He is a comit. My mistake. He is now a former comit. He’ll probably end up in JUCO

When I hear about these scholar-athletes, I am reminded of a story one of my high school teacherS told. He was in a class with one of the big football players. The professor gave them a number of essay questions to prepare, some of which they would have to write, by hand, in the blue book, for the exam. This was in the days of typewriters. The football player’s girlfriend typed up the answers, and those are what he handed in the day of the exam.

What of someone took a crap on his car, and told him, no disrespect ‘bro, I just don’t like the President of General Motors. Everyone has the right to poop, right?

.............from around 1995 to 2005 one of my two kids was enrolled in A & M and both graduated.

So, I spent hundreds of hours there or going there.

This kid is throwing away his future. This will follow him all his life all over the world.

I hope someone of some stature can talk him out of it.
