From Foster Care to First Round - WaPo on Jonathan Allen

Great read.

Allen didn’t attend kindergarten, and missed so much school that he later had to repeat the second grade. The boys’ father didn’t even realize they’d relocated to South Carolina with their mother. The local school district became concerned, and the brothers were eventually placed into foster care by the state’s Child Protective Services. Jonathan was 8 at the time.

For his efforts, he was not only named the SEC’s defensive player of the year but also won the Chuck Bednarik Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy (nation’s best defensive player) and the Ted Hendricks Award (best defensive end).

And yet, was not invited to New York for Heisman consideration but what's-his-face from Meechigan was. Just doesn't make sense to me.
