considering that most soccer players are on scholarship....

the NCAA does not allow students on scholarship for OTHER sports to also play football.

There are only maybe a handful of people in this whole state that can kick a football consistently 70+ yards with the hangtime required by Les Miles. And maybe 1 or 2 are in college. This coming from someone all state in soccer and an all district kicker in the Catholic League. If they were allowed to line drive the football the options would increase.
