While I'm obviously not a fan, I do try to be fair. I don't hold the kid's dad -- perhaps THE lowest character scumbag I've ever seen in football coaching in my 50 years of viewing and fandom -- against him.

He played, as some may recall, for my kid's archrival. I've never seen any single player I rooted against in HS that I was more frightened by, a friggin Houdini that was insanely difficult to get a grip on to bring down. He doesn't look like that sorta player ... until you see him routinely end up 20-30 yards downfield after what looked like an 8 yard loss was coming. One of those "he just finds a way" players.

How his skill translates at the next level, still TBD. But he definitely feels like a starter somewhere to me.
