Rob:
 
Someone is already pushing this kid to do things before his time.  He is playing varsity football as an 8th grader. 
 
So whoever his "handler" is - may have him ready for college ASAP. 
 
I don't think it is the colleges exploiting the kid - I think the kid and his handlers are doing the pushing. 
 
I don't think that UF coaches would put him on the field before he is ready.  We have needed HUGE help at defensive tackle and have brought in a lot guys to help - but they did not play since the coaches felt they were not ready. 
 
I know the kids can start at UF in football after 3.5 years - didn't know if they could start sooner than that?

Rob,
 
Here is a counter argument:  Early admission would give the player one or two more years of the college weight training and coaching.  Because of their age, they would have to remain in college longer before they could move on to the NFL.  The big negative would be their socialization.  Here would be a great reason to bring back athletic dorms.

I’m sure the NCAA wouldn’t mind, because we all know how flexible they are!  ;-)   Seriously, however good Taylor is in 8th grade, I don’t think you’re doing him or us a favor to try to rush him to college just because we’re in a hurry to see him play. Four more years of coaching and physical development will all be positive for him and just think how good he’ll be when he’s actually ready for his freshman year.

My daughter started college in the fall of her junior year and went full time her senior year.  With careful planning, it is possible for a kid to complete his/her requirements by the beginning  of their junior year.  I have raised this question before on another forum, “Would the NCAA allow a student to play in college if they have met the core requirements but not yet graduated from high school?  Also, many high schools will allow college classes to double for high school graduation requirements (as my daughter did—she graduated high school at the beginning of her sophomore year in college).  Would the NCAA allow a student to go to college without their core credits completed and practice (train) but not play until the requirements are met?

Not sure what to make of this kid. 
 
 
Maybe next year will give us a true indication of what his stats are. 
 
I assume that kids have to go to high school for 3 and 1/2 years before they can go to college?
