If we don’t feel old already, consider this: Perennial Super 25 football contender Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) had a recruiting visit from the player known as Baby Gronk.
The viral social media sensation would be in the Class of 2031. That isn’t a mistake: 2031, it is.

Madden Sam Miguel, Baby Gronk’s actual name, has committed to colleges prior to settling on a high school.
In May, he announced he would attend Ohio State University. But then in June, he flipped to Oregon. That was only after he had committed to Washington, too.

Miguel has committed to numerous other schools. Pretty, pretty good for someone who has completed fifth grade.
He’s not allowed to formally commit to a school until seventh grade at the earliest.
Truth be told, by the time he is ready for higher education, no one will recognize what college football is going to look like.
