This fall will be my senior year, and I may or may not be playing football. In my Junior year I was a starter on varsity and things were looking good until I had a somewhat serious back injury. After 2 games I was done for the year. I went through physical therapy and everything seemed good until I started weight lifting again. Now my back is starting to hurt again and I might have to go through physical therapy again. I've never had a serious injury before this so it's frustrating. Obviously I have about 6 months until camps start so I could be good to go, but if I'm not I still want to play college ball.
Obviously I wouldn't expect a scholarship, but I was thinking of going to a community college for 2 years and maybe transferring to a bigger college. How does that process go? Would I still be eligible for an NCAA team?

I'm doing a Postgraduate Year at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA and its so far been the best decision I've made in my life. I was recruited much more than I was at my old high school, and the extra year helped my improve my test scores and grades as well. It's essentially repeating your senior year of high school. I strongly suggest you look into prep schools that have a PG program and consider taking a year to do that, lots of kids who are injured their senior year do one.

Yes, and Chevelle covered that pretty well. But don't doubt yourself, I had off the field issues my jr. year and came back senior year for a 1000+ yard receiving season and had colleges/university's offer me scholarships. Promote yourself as well, Send out film and email coaches from schools you are intrested in.
