Published by Bleacher Report on Sun, 25 Jun 2017


The University of Nevada made waves Wednesday by offering nine-year-old Los Angeles native Havon Finney Jr. a football scholarship.Finney's trainer, former Louisville defensive back Mike Evans, tweeted about the offer:Evans told Chris Hummer of 247Sports that the offer came in for Finney after a Nevada assistant coach saw some of his highlight videos.Another one of Evans' clients, 10-year-old Bunchie Young, recently received an offer from Illinois as well.Evans believes it is already clear that both Finney and Young project to be high-level athletes when the time finally comes for them to attend college:"I've seen so many players in my time. ... These kids aren't going to be short. Genetically they have the size of pro athletes.
