My ACT puts me in he top 7% of the nation. I have All-Conference and All-County. Not even a glance. Yes...they know I exist. But, almost the end of the year and I haven't heard a sneeze. Any thoughts?

You didn't mention what position you play, or if you or your coach sent out highlight videos. I'm assuming they were sent. My suggestion is go to a University that is lacking in your position and try out as a walk on. Or, go to a Junior College and show your skills. I think that should be your last choice. Good luck on what happens.

You're asking people at Yahoo Answers when you should be asking your coach...
Does your school have a history of players going on to play college ball? That could make a difference... colleges love football factories.
If you're the first really good player your school has had for a while, it might be harder to draw attention...
What caliber of competition do you play against?
You didn't say how big you are, but if you're good enough, you should be able to find a spot on a college team somewhere...
Do you have a chance to showcase your talents in a state all star game?
I'd suggest asking your coach what's going on (or in this case, what's NOT going on)... there's got to be some reason for it...
And for a college to get a good player who also works very hard on their grades...that should be a double bonus!
Best of luck to you...maybe your coach(es) can shed some light on this matter...let's hope so... it sounds like you would be an asset to a college team, given your football ability as well as your obvious work ethic when it comes to grades.

They look for speed times of course but more so guys who can play football. There are many track speedsters, but they can't play football. Coaches like players who won't quit, no matter what. If you are on special teams and get knocked down, get up immediately and continue down to make the tackle, never stop, never. Scouts are impressed by the drive and desire and heart of the player. That guy can make things happen and every team needs that guy. You have excellent and impressive times and strength, but how is your endurance? Can you give me 5 miles right now? How about 20 consecutive, 110 yard sprints? Many many college players after being drafted by a pro team still do not make the club for one reason, they cannot run. You are doing great, if you want to be the absolute stud moose, get your running in. Your weight training and running strength will make you a pillar of granite to bring down. Keep it up. You take care.

Depends where you play football. If you are all-state or all-region in Texas, Florida, or California, then that is worth mentioning. But if you are all-state in say North Dakota, you would get no attention. The best teams come from those three aforementioned states. Provide some further info, it could very well be your coach's fault. He might not be mentioning you to scouts or might not be submitting any highlight tapes. It could be that the talent in your area is normally overlooked because it is not known for producing any.
Best of luck

Nine times out of ten, the reason a local star does not get picked up with a scholarship is because he is not big enough or strong enough or fast enough. Your grades will get you into college; your feet will walk you onto the field. That is where you prove they underestimated you. Spring workouts. Do or die.
