...himself as a starter for the potential oppty of making millions if drafted in the NFL?
I work with a guy who's son was a 4* recruit and he will be starting for Penn State this year.
Every scholarship player at Penn St (last year) made $30K/yr. All Sophomores on scholarship made $50K/yr and all starters made a minimum of $100K/yr (some obviously much higher depending on marketability). That is the going rate (as of last year) for a top FB program in a "P2" conference
