No idea how this one flew under the radar. Got a commitment from Baby Gronk last month:



Already has his own NIL deal with Champs Sports:



Maybe some necessary context: He's 11, has no official offers (though has apparently visited multiple programs) and has previously been committed to SoCal, Bama, UF, UGA, UT, Nebraska, OSU, Michigan, Colorado, LSU, Oklahoma, A&M and Missouri.

We'll have our work cut out for us to keep this kid on board for 7 years.

Oh, his dad does social media marketing and training for young athletes.

His dad is a sad individual propping up his kid to make money. His dad is also like 5'11 or something so the kid likely has odds stacked against him genetically to actually turn out to be a D1 sized athlete. I feel really bad for the kid.

It's really said. Lot of really pathetic stuff in the article, but this quote sums it up:

“I’ve had a plan for my son since before he was born,” Jake told The Athletic on Wednesday evening. “It’s playing out now.”

Somehow, I don't think ''manipulating father'' is the plan Jake's parents had for him.
