Adopt-A-Player
How cool would it be to have a family member play for a D1 college or professional team? That’s the idea behind Football Weblog’s Adopt-a-Player.
In Adopt-a-Player, Football Weblog randomly selects a top 50 high school skill position player prospect each year to call our own, and we follow his career all along the way. It’s an annual event started in 2021. In a few seasons, we’ll have an entire family of talented young players to watch and cheer for as their football careers unfold.
