A young man by the name of Jacob Allen confirmed the situation, and tweeted, “Just to spread awareness, a fake UCLA coach is offering kids. I was one of them. I can’t believe someone would actually do this to guys who have worked so hard for their dreams. It’s unfortunate and heartbreaking but God is good and has a plan.”

It’s hard to put into words just how awful of a thing this is to do to young men hoping to play college football.
Imagine working your butt off throughout high school, dreaming of playing for UCLA and then a fake coach offers you a scholarship offer that doesn’t exist.
It’s to think of things that could be much worse because that’s absolutely awful.

I hope like hell this person is caught, identified and dealt with accordingly. There’s simply no excuse for tolerating this kind of garbage.
If you impersonate a coach at a major college football program in order to offer kids nonexistent scholarships, you should honestly be arrested. At the least, you deserve to be publicly shamed in a big way.

Stay alert, young men! There’s apparently some very foolish people walking among you.
