February 3, 2016, was national signing day, when the nation’s best high school football players announced which college they would attend. Of the thousands of such kids who enter the multi-billion dollar industry of college football each year, very few of them are known beyond their height, weight, 40-yard dash time, and place in the national recruit rankings. Jahsen Wint, a standout linebacker at Erasmus Hall High School in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, NY, signed his official letter of intent to play football at Ohio State University, one of the most highly regarded programs inn the country, winning the most recent of its eight national championships in 2014. For Wint, the scholarship was the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice by Wint, who had moved out of his mother’s home to pursue a scholarship. And it was the beginning of a new journey that will take him even farther from home.
