In California, CIF (which governs CA Highschool Football) has a rule that if you turn 19 before June 15 of your senior year, you're ineligible to play. Parents and students know this well. So students turning 19 while still in highschool have planned it out so they turn 19 after June 15 of their senior year. This new NCAA rule makes it so now they need to make sure they turn 19 after the start of their senior academic year. As long as they turn 19 after the start of their senior year, they won't burn any college eligibility.

The part about turning 19 before stepping on campus isn't accurate. A student-athlete can turn 19 while still in high school and their eligibility clock does not automatically start. The clock begins with the academic year following the year they turn 19, not simply when they reach their 19th birthday.

The redshirt is dead — and most programs aren’t ready for what that means. Every scholarship now starts a 5-year clock the moment a kid enrolls or turns 19. No extensions. No medical freezes. That changes recruiting, roster building, and player development in one stroke. Birthday math is now part of every offer conversation. A kid who turns 19 before he steps on campus has already burned time. Coaches who ignore that will regret it. The portal gets leaner but more expensive. Fewer players with extra eligibility means a smaller pool — and the ones in it will cost more. The programs that win this era won’t be the ones with the most NIL money. They’ll be the ones who evaluate 17-year-olds better than everyone else and stop hiding developmental needs behind a redshirt year. The margin for error just got really small. @jrichardgoodman @VinnysCorner1 @SergeantMartee @BeholdPaleH0rse #portal #NCAA @latsondheimer @KasselMedia #recruits #eligibility #hssports #coaches #coach

Grateful to receive one of the select few nomination invites for the FBU Top Gun Showcase in Naples, Florida. Leaving straight from @JSerra_Football summer ball in the Trinity League to fly across country to compete in the showcase, then back to practice on Monday. Ready to work!

Official results from the VTO Sports Phenom Elite 100 Combine. Blessed to lead the field in Broad Jump and the 5-10-5 Shuttle Run. No where near my best laser time in the 40 yard dash, but that just motivates me to work even harder. Follow me on X to track my progress over the next 4 years in the Trinity League.
