Answer
Yahnael, hello!

Your age will not prevent you from playing college ball but it depends on your skills and Maturity of Leadership.  Some players didn't start football until late in high school or even late in college.  Your chances of making it to the Pro Level clearly depends on your ability and chances.


I have attached some websites for you to review in regards to eligibility.  The college you select will get your official opinions.

Have a great day everyday!
