Last week, a hopeful prospect showed up at LSU's July football camp. He posted an impressive 4.46 40-yard dash, and he earned a scholarship offer from the Tigers' coaching staff for his efforts.

It's a scene that plays out on college campuses every single summer, although this offer was different for one main reason -- Dylan Moses has yet to start eighth grade.

Considering the Tigers are only just starting to hand out offers to members of the Class of 2014, it came as a bit surprise for a 2017 prospect to get one.

"I was kind of shocked when I first heard it -- it was a dream come true," Moses, 14, said. "I've always wanted to play for LSU since I was a kid, and now it's coming true in front of my eyes."

what is everyone's opinion on this controversial topic? I personally think it is kind of ridiculous. You offer the boy before he has even stepped on a high school field, let alone his 8th grade year, he just finished 7th grade!! And my favorite quote, "i've always wanted to play for LSU since i was a kid." Phew it's good to see he's all grown up and ready to take the next step in life with football. what a joke.

 
Nebraska Volleyball did it as well. Cook offered the Rolfzen twins right after they graduated 8th grade.
