MaxPreps Sophomore All-American is on the move.



Nate Craig, one of the most impressive tenth-grade football players in the country, is leaving Pasco (Dade City, Fla.) and is set to enroll at Tampa Catholic, according to a report from the Tampa Bay Times.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound sophomore was extremely versatile for Pasco, playing receiver, running back, defensive back and special teams.

Despite missing time with an ankle injury, he earned MaxPreps Sophomore All-American honors.

According to 247Sports, he has offers from the likes of Florida, Ohio State, Miami and Auburn.



Craig's mother, Nicki, told the Times that the reasons for the transfer were academic in nature.

"It has nothing to do with football," she told the Times. "It's all about education. That's what people need to understand."

Tampa Catholic finished 10-3 last season and graduates most of its key offensive weapons.
