Question
I played football growing up from age 8 to 16, never played varsity in high school.  I am now 23, will be 24 in Feb.  I am in decent shape because my job requires it.  How hard would it be to get onto a college team and play ball again?  Also what would be the process for doing so?

Answer
Shane, hello!

I have attached some websites for you to review.  Your age can work for or against you.  If you're a Leader, some school would love your contribution. If you are a great athlete, many schools will want you.

Contact the college where you seek to play and they will advise the opportunity!

Take care,

Thom Brooks
