When you play football in eigth grade, you don't really think about going to college for it but for linebacker/running back Dylan Moses, it's a completely different story. As an eigth grader he has two offers to play football in college. He has been offered scholarships from Alabama and LSU. At 6-1 and 215 pound he is much better than many of the people he plays against which isnt a surprise. We never know what is going to happen before he graduates but he seems to have a bright future.
I would love to have so many options for my future at a young age but it would also be a lot of pressure. What do you think? Would you take the offers so young? Would you ever even offer an eigth grader a scholarship to college?

Must be one heck of a player, I hope he makes his dream come true.
Wow he's a very lucky kid. That like never happens very often. I hope he has a good future. He's very lucky to have that opportunity at that age.
I don't know if that's really a good idea. His ability could easily go down before he graduates high school.
I think that it is great that the kid has such a bright future a head of him! I agree in the fact that it is a lot of pressure to be under at that age! If I were him I would wait to accept any offer until I had more of my life planned out.
As a player it would be awesome to get scholarships from the best teams in the country, but I don't schools think schools should be recruiting that young of a player.
Are you sure hes an 8th grader. There are not that many 6ft 13-14 year olds around. If he has already gotten offers from 2 of the best college football teams then he might make it to the NFL.
This is cool! But i hope he keeps up with his talents during his highschool career and doesnt get tired out. And I cant believe how tall and buff he is!
This is amazing, but most people don't have any idea in 8th grade what they want to do with their lives. The people that offered him scholarships are thinking that he is going to play football for college, but he could change his mind and decide not to do football. I think the college people are jumping to soon for recruits.
Wow! I watched the video and I can understand why he already has scholarship offers! He is pretty good for an 8th grader...sure doesnt seem like it! It would be awesome to have this sense of "promise" that I know that I will be able to get into a college and sorta have some of my future figured out...If this boy gets even better when he becomes a senior in highschool just think of how many offers he will have! I hope this doesnt make him arrogant though!
I think thats crazy from the video he looks pretty good and to be 6"1 and 215 pounds as and 8th grader is crazy i wanna see how hes doing when hes a junior of senior.
