Chatsworth's Isaiah Rameau and Moorpark's Nick Andrade turned around their grades, and college football hopes, after struggles during COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the high school football season in which the seniors are known as the COVID teenagers. They arrived as freshmen in the fall of 2020 when there were no sports and classrooms were locked. They did their school work from a computer at home.
One of those was Nick Andrade of Moorpark. He received eight failing grades as a freshman during the 2020-21 school year.To pick himself off the ground, Andrade found motivation in the lure of playing football. Better grades meant he’d join his friends.As a sophomore, he received a waiver to play but didn’t fully correct his academics.He enters his senior year as a 6-foot-3, 255-pound standout nose tackle with the grades to go to an NCAA Division II or NAIA school.
Another player who made a comeback in the classroom is standout running back Isaiah Rameau of Chatsworth. When he finished his final summer school classes last month, he became NCAA eligible in his core classes.During that freshman year in 2020-21 while using Zoom and not playing football, his grade-point average was 1.7.
Football coach Marvin Street was blunt. “You need higher grades if you want to play college football.”
