 Last year, the then Tennessee head coach offered a scholarship to 14-year old Evan Berry, the younger brother of former Volunteer star safety Eric Berry. Now, Kiffin has gotten his latest potential star quarterback at USC, for 2015.
Kiffin offered a scholarship to 13-year-old David Sills of Delaware. Apparently, Sills is supposedly the best quarterback prospect in his age group.
Sills also hasn't driven a car yet, probably hasn't had a breakout of pimples on his face yet, he might not have had his first kiss either and, he's probably never gotten a chance to see an R-rated movie in a theater (unless an adult was with him).
Here's how it all went down:
According to the Wilmington News Journal, Bear, Del., seventh-grade quarterback David Sills committed Thursday night to accept a football scholarship from USC.
The 13-year-old, who attends Red Lion Christian Academy, told delawareonline.com "my heart was beating so fast" when he talked to Kiffin. Red Lion high school varsity coach Eric Day confirmed that Kiffin recently offered the teen a scholarship, and that Sills committed, according to the Wilmington paper. This is the second time that the former Bulldog backup quarterback and student coach has gotten involved with minors. At this point, I think its time we recognize this: If David Stern can put an age limit on the NBA Draft then maybe, there needs to be an age restriction on offering scholarships for any NCAA institution, regardless if its USC, Tennessee or heck, Fresno State.
If the NCAA doesn't address this, Lane Kiffin and USC just might start scouting for talent at the next Pop Warner Football Championship. Who knows, he may start telling 13-year-old kids that if they don't play at USC, they'll end up pumping gas.
