This is pretty cool - a guy who is graduating high school with my daughter this year signed a professional deal with Louisville FC that includes an academic scholarship.

I don't know anything at all about college vs pro for soccer, so does this mean he shows more promise than to let him play in college to develop? Basically, like a high end baseball prospect being drafted and playing in the minors?

Dude was unreal this year - scored 48 goals in 19 games.

EDIT - here's an article about it (although it may be behind a paywall). Sounds like it is a somewhat unique arrangement.

Several paths to college and pro soccer are opening up for future youth players in Kentucky. Here's one example. @HLpreps @cdrummond97 @KHSAA https://t.co/StcDirf1Y7
