Best Answer

Very, very few high school athletes will earn a college scholarship.Generally, state winners or nationally ranked athletes are recruited by colleges in Division I schools. However, if you have enjoyed being on an athletic team and hope to continue playing in college as a "walk-on" you may wish to consider the Division IA, II or III colleges where you would have a greater chance of continuing to enjoy the game, but where academics will be the deciding factor in your admission. Of the 330,000 high school seniors who played football, only 20,000 college freshmen continue to play in college, and less than 10,000 received any financial assistance. How many of these students will play professionally? Less than 100 students will sign a professional sports contract, and the average sports career lasts only five years. High school Basketball involves 158,000 students; less than 5,000 will play in college and less than 200 will play in professional games, and their average career is only three to four years. Up to 8,000 athletic questionnaires are sent each year by a college for football athletes only. Of these, 150 will be recruited, 85 will be invited to visit campus and only 25 will be offered a scholarship. It is a hard road to walk but i know form experience it is worth all the hard work!!
