Interesting story about how he ended up committing to FIU on the ESPN big 12 blog. To be honest I will give ESPN a lot of credit they knew what they were saying since we did make his top 3 and he almost did decide on Nebraska.

I gotta admit it's more than a little painful knowing how close we were to landing this guy. Get him & we land two surprises in one day. And both surprises would've been the kind of game-changers our offense needs.

Sunbelt standards are as low as it gets, he might get into FIU.

 

it's my understanding that NU's academic requirements for athletes are no different than the NCAA mandated ones, meaning that if he can get in any D1 school, he should be able to get into NU.

 

Not true, if you met the Core classes, had a 2.275 GPA (bottom half of class) and a sum of a 76 the ACT which is equal to a 19 composite you would be NCAA eligible, but not meet NU's requirements. You may get a waiver, but that's the only way you could get in.

 

NU's requirements are

 

16 Core Courses

4 English

4 Math

3 Social Sciences

3 Natural Sciences

2 Foreign Languages

 

And

 

Be ranked in the upper one-half of their high school class, OR

have received an ACT composite score of 20 or higher*, OR

have received a SAT total score (Critical Reading and Math only) of 950 or higher*.

 

NCAA

16 core classes

4 English

3 Math

2 Natural\Physical Science

1 additional English\Math\Science

2 Social Science

4 additional from any of the above or foreign language or nondoctrinal religion\philosophy

 

Performance

Only core courses are used in the calculation of the grade-point average.

 

 

 

 

The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the four sections on the ACT: English, mathematics, reading and science.
