Early enrollees get a jump on the competition

Early enrollees are becoming more in vogue for numerous reasons, chief among them the opportunity for the player to become acclimated to college life quicker than his classmates.

Players also can become acclimated to football quicker, which is why more and more coaches seem to be pushing early enrollment.
Coaches who turn to junior college transfers often want a quick fix at a position. When a JC transfer is able to enroll early and go through spring practice, coaches can get a better idea of whether that player can provide a quick fix. Frankly, it also gives coaches an idea of whether that transfer is going to be a bust.
