Will Highly Recruited HS Seniors Sit Out This Year

[El Paso Eagle]

Not that I would like to see it, but I wonder, with some schools possibly not returning in the fall, or with the potential risk, do you think some players will choose to sit out the fall?

Another options for places where they might not play this year

How would they sit out?  I am unaware of prep schools for football like there are for basketball.  Are schools like that out there?

I had heard a story on one of the sports talk stations that a young man who was being recruited was considering not playing his senior season due to concerns over Covid. They did not mention his name, so not sure how to confirm it.  guess I had never considered a HS player sitting out, but not that long ago we had not seen college players skipping bowl games.

If a player delayed enrolling one year, his eligibility clock would not start.

I may not be explaining it well. The player was talking about skipping his last year of HS football. So as not to get injured/sick and hurt his college chances
