Sadly for her, her attempt will be futile.  He's 18 so he doesn't need her to co-sign his LOI.  Moms can be crazy.

According to CNNSI and the NCAA handbook, he does need her to sign it if he's not 21.

"*Update: ESPN's Corey Long reported that Collins' mother confiscated his National Letter of Intent and left the school. According to the NCAA website, a recruit must be 21 or older to sign the NLI without parental consent. For additional info and social media reaction surrounding this situation, click here.

I will never get it. Do the momma's not care about the cheating??

even if they're 18 that's not exactly killing it - hell they had that cheating program in place for decades & really haven't won jack **** in FB!

With ESPN being run by a UNC-CHeat grad, I have to believe people working there want to keep him happy and therefore the higher rankings.

Why don't you look at some other sites.  247 Sports has UNC-CHeat #28, Scout has them #29, Rivals has them at #41, but ESPN has the holes at #18.  You make the call.

interesting, when I saw 28 & 29 so close you figure 28.5 & averaging all 4 & it's 29.

I do think we are at risk there.   It would be nice to get another kicker and/or punter on the team - hopefully a walk-on.

Does he need her permission to enroll in school and join the football team, too?  Or is it just the LOI that needs parent approval?

I know this was from page 1, but I just gotta point out how well done this photography is.  At first glance it seems like they're all slammin' hotties because all the ones around the edges are, but if you look closely at the ones in the middle.....lol.
