Here is a si.com story about a football player who has decided to be a STUDENT-athlete.

This kid is a remarkable character, that's amazing that he puts school first then football.. not many star college kids do so.I hope he gets it, I really do. I don't know if he's an all-star player at FSU or not, and what his chances are going pro are.. but he's thinking about long term and he probably realizes that he could get hurt or not make it into the NFL and have nothing to fall back on.

A big Kudos to Bobby Bowden as well for showing kids all over that football really is just a game and that the future is in fact real.

Wow....thanks for sharing. Extremely impressive.

i think the kids pseudo-agent to go that route

He's actually a very good player, too. I agree with you, BTW.
