Question
I am 20 years old now, but still have dreams of playing college football. I still run and lift everyday and I am 6'2" 290. At my age is it still possible to get an opportunity to play football at the college level, and where should I start the process?

Answer
Joshua, hello!

Of course you have a great chance to play ball.  I can't answer your chance since I do not know your past experience or current ability.  Your age will not be a huge negative as long as you show football knowledge and Leadership.

Review the websites and then contact the schools of choice.  If you pursue with Passion, your dream will come true.
