mrclean69 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If this kid doesn't qualify for an age waiver I don't know who does. The UIL is a joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomuser Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Great story by Stepp, they were talking about it on The Ticket today. Phil Young the HC at Arlington Heights is a good coach and a great man as you can see by this story. Kudos to all involved from AH to Southwest Baptist but much credit to the kid. Going to the NFL after this would be a great ending to some people. But if the kid gets a degree to me it would be the greatest ending to the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UIL is full of idiots. If this kid didn't deserve a waiver then I'm not sure why waivers exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattStepp Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Part of the issue was the lack of documentation from Nigeria.....there wasn't a lot to go on other than "he's too old" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

player73 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 What a testimony to this kid’s faith. Not many kids these days would even attempt this much less accomplish it. Anxious to here how this story plays out. God bless this young man and all who played a part in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
