13 Year Old Quarterback Verbally Commits To USC

The highlight tape above is of 13 year old quarterback David Sills of Bear County, Delaware.  Apparently, Sills works out with the same personal coach that also helped Matt Barkley and Jimmy Clausen polish their games before entering college.  That coach, Steve Clarkson, showed Lane Kiffin, the new head coach of the University of Southern California, this video clip and Kiffin immediately got in contact with Sills’ family and then came the verbal commitment.  To hear that a 13 year old gave a verbal commitment to a college to play basketball isn’t unheard of in today’s day and age but for football it is.  A 13 year old dominating Pop Warner competition is nothing even compared to playing against high school competition so it’ll be interesting to see how good this kid still is when the year 2014 rolls around (his freshmen year at college).
