Question
I am 19 i graduated in 2007 with a 3.6 GPA but due to the fact that i was in the hospital i could not sign up for different little scholarships or grants that could have helped me pay for college i did not have the money but i wanted to continue to play football after high school so i played semi pro football and even made it to the pro bowl now i want to  play football in college i need help to make that happen.

Answer
Eric, hello!

You need to contact those scholarship offers and the college where you seek to earn a degree.  They will happily accept you to a tryout and likely give you an opportunity to help them win games.   The NCAA rules will be checked to verify that you did not get paid as a professional.  

Contact the school's Athletic Department immediately.  I saw where a college brought a kicker into a team this week after he had won a Half time Kicking contest.  

Never Stop.
