Not every good football player gets a scholarship to college. There are guys that fall through the cracks every year but there is a place where they land right here in Houston.

The Greater Houston Senior Football Showcase.

Think you can play? That’s fine. But there’s a catch. You’ve got to be a student too. If you don’t have an SAT score of 840 or an ACT score of 18 you need not apply. If you do and want to show your stuff to coaches from 45-55 schools then come on out. But you have to hurry.

The event is Feb.10 but you have to be pre-registered by February 3.

Pay attention to all the rules. If you mess up you won’t be registered and you want to be registered. There’s plenty of money out there to be had. This is the 10th year of the Showcase and they’ll hit $100 million in scholarship money given out. Yep. $100 million. That’s serious money.

And who knows, you may be the next Jarell Carter. He’s the first Showcase alum to make it to the NFL. He came out of Dulles in 2013 with no offers, went to the Showcase and was given scholarship money by Trinity International. This past season he was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Arizona Cardinals and made their practice squad.

You may not make it to the league but you can make it to college. Get to the website.
