A Sad Story but Symptomatic of our Times

My guess is that he and the girl had an argument and he took the gun for whatever reason. Hence, the call to the police about trespassing by the parents. Regardless, this is so stupid. He probably just forfeited his chance to play college football free of cost at a very good program over something that was probably totally avoidable. The odds are fairly high that Michigan State will pull the scholarship. Hopefully, he can learn from the situation, get past this, exercise better judgment in the future, and find a spot on another college football roster.  

 

The kid has the size, frame and bloodlines to be a big time football player. Time will tell whether he has the judgment and maturity to realize his potential.

Young love can make you do some stupid things. This was really stupid......but he will rebound, learn and grow as long as he has a strong foundation at home and faith.

Something similar happened to George Hunter (Atlantic/Boynton DB) - http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime--law/new-teen-accused-selling-stolen-iphones-undercover-officer/LoHDouLw9o5k8tJTxe9yWN/

 

Did not sign on NSD but had been offered by FAU, Kansas, Maryland, K-State, Ohio, Toledo and Western Michigan.

Darn. It is hard for me to understand what's going on in the minds of these kids. And, if you're going to sell stolen stuff, you would think you would be more discreet about it and not use social media attached to your name. But the tragedy is each of these young men may have just blown opportunities at the college level and beyond over stuff that really could have/should have been avoided.

 

If your life is at a dead end there is still no excuse for doing the wrong thing. But at least you are not blowing up an opportunity that could lead, possibly, to fame and fortune.
