Rai Benjamin interview on Nightcap

On “NCSA IS AWEFUL ”

Absolutely agree with your first point. Rai Benjamin says as much in this interview with Shannon Sharpe (go to 26:19) when asked why he pursued track in college and not football, which he also played in high school (WR and FR) and was apparently very good. His answer was that he went to a relatively small NY HS, and it’s super hard to get noticed / a scholarship from a big college program coming out of a NY high school, especially a small one. Whereas his HS track times easily got him a scholarship to a top program.
