I am currently 16 years old 6'0, 193lbs. My coach was talking to me about a possible football scholarship, and he says I have a chance to get one for long snapping. He says all I have to do is gain about 25-35lbs before my seniot year in High School, and I have a chance to get a football scholarship. On the other hand, I have swimming. I am currently about 2 seconds away from making state championships, and I would probably lose about 30lbs before november in order to get there. I also have a chance to get a swimming scholarship too. I know that I should probably pick one or the other because I know it isn't exactly healthy to go from 225lbs to 160lbs in a couple of months. So was hoping that maybe some people on this board have some experience with this topic and could give me some advice.

Have you thought about trying for the Military Academy/Colleges like West Point or the Air Force Academy? Free schooling, intense swimming programs --and football, and you can have a military career afterwards! When it was time for the swimming seniors to go to college, three of us ended up at the most elite military colleges.
