Hs sophomore QB by Baton Rouge Lands Nil Deal – Louisiana Radio Network

He has not graduated from high school for more than two years, but Elijah Haven, the star sophomore for the Dunham high school, already has a deal with zero.

Haven has been brought on board as a spokesman for Matt Bowers.

Matt Bowers says he has known Elijah and his family for a long time and could not think of anyone better to be the face of his company.

“When you download the helmet and talk to the kid, there is something really different and unique about him,” Bowers says. “Some people in Baton Rouge already know, but I think a wider, a wider spectrum of people will meet. He is a child you meet and want him to succeed. He is a child you are rooting for. “

Bowers says he has known shelters for a long time.

“He knows me, I personally know his family. They are my friends, “Bowers says. “So he can with a good awareness – and given his story with me – say,” Hey, look, this is the person I like, this is the person I do business with, this is the person you have to come to You see. “

Haven led Dunam to an unbeaten regular season and a performance in the game for the title of Division III in Prep Classic, where they lost to Catholic Iberia.

Although he has two years of football in high school in front of him, Haven already has offers for scholarships from LSU, Ole Miss, Michigan, Florida and Miami.

Bowers is a graduate of Ole Miss, but he insists that this deal with zero is not a way to persuade him to sign with the school.

“Do I participate in Ole Miss athletics? Yes, just like anyone like me. “Says Baurs.” Am I paying for children to play football and things like that? I’m not in the past. No. “

Bowers says he believes LSU has the interior track among the schools that offered him a scholarship.

“He goes to high school in Dunam. He lives in Baton Rouge. I would think that LSU should be in pretty good shape, forbidding that people alienate it or his family. “Says Bowers.

Bowers did not reveal how much the deal for the zero of Haven costs.

He said it was profitable for everyone.

“He approves the business and we promote his achievements on and off the pitch,” Baurs says. “So it’s a partnership.”
