A Florida teen received 150 scholarships, and the offers aren’t all for his athletic prowess.
Although senior defensive end Chad Thomas helped lead his Booker T. Washington High School football team to back-to-back state championships and a national title this year, he earned some of his scholarships for his talent off the gridiron. Thomas plays nine instruments, and his musical talent contributes to his wealth of scholarships!
Thomas has committed to the University of Miami for the fall and will be playing football, while attending its Frost School of Music. He intends to study music technology.
