Youl probably get in, looks like you hav e apretty good resema!

so all through middle school and freshman year in high school i was a football star. i was fast, strong, and just a plain natural at it. but as many football players do, i fell into the temptation of girls, alchohol, ect. now i have graduated and am finishing my freshman year in community college. i am going to the university of houston next year, and i want to know if there is any chance i could play ball for them. i am still pretty good, but dont know exactly how to go about putting myself out there again, since i haven played for so long. is there still a chance? and if so, how?
by the way, i havent played football ever since freshman year in HS

Given the information you have, your asking A LOT. It’s so hard to get a shot for NCAA Football as most recruiters have their eyes set on that 18 year old who ran for 3,000 yards and 40 TD’s his Senior year in High School.

Seeing as how your going to the University of Houston next year I suggest you try this. You didn’t mention what position you played, I would assume offense probably WR? Anyways make a tape of you running some drills. 40 yard dash, 20 yard cones, etc. Then also have some cones set up and run the routes as someone tosses the ball to you. Explain who you are on the tape and mention you will be at the University of Houston next year. This will be more appealing to them if they like what they saw on your tape because you will come to them, not vice versa. The scenario I just gave you is for a WR but if you play another position it is still the same idea, a home tape showcasing your skills. Mail it to the Athletic Department for UOH and you’ll find out. Good Luck.
