Apparently, it’s never too early to start looking towards a program’s future.
The Miami Hurricanes have made an offer to a player who has yet to even take the field for a high school football game. Eighth-grade quarterback Harrison Bailey, a native of Georgia, was offered by Miami and head coach Mark Richt on Tuesday.
Bailey made the reveal on Twitter.

The kid isn’t even halfway to being fully matured, and a program is already telling him that they want him? I come from an area where being humble is key to success. Getting this type of praise so early on could see humility go right out the window..
