A New Beginning For WVU's Sills

The one-time football prodigy who created national attention when he verbally committed to play quarterback at USC as a seventh-grader saw his dream of becoming a star college quarterback come to an end at El Camino College in Torrance, California.

Sills started playing youth football when he was six, began working with a quarterback trainer when he was nine and then received a scholarship offer a few years later from USC coach Lane Kiffin.

This information, by the way, comes from Sills’ Wikipedia page.

Well, Kiffin got whacked at USC. Sills felt like he wasn’t a priority to the Trojans and eventually found his way to West Virginia University as an early enrollee in 2015 after starring at Eastern Christian Academy in Elkton, Maryland.
