My son was recently asked if he might consider "green shirting.". I wasn't familiar with the term and had to go look it up.
"Green shirt is a relatively new term and is applied to that high school
senior that forgoes his spring semester in high school to enroll in
college in January."
The advantages are that they get another semester out of a scholarship getting a head start on taking classes, settling in to the college environment and starting the football routine as well as participating in the spring practices and game ahead of the fall recruits that will come in in June.
The disadvantages are, they will have to speed up there high school graduation requirements (possible summer classes), would have to forgo winter and spring high school sports, and miss out on senior activities such as prom and maybe even graduation day.
