Miami HC Mario Cristobal face-timed Drayton and offered him a scholarship:

“No. 1, congratulations on busting your butt and doing all the things that you’ve been doing at such a young age,” Cristobal said.

“I know you guys have got a big game coming up, but I wanted to call you myself and let you know, face to face, man to man, that we’re offering you a scholarship to Miami and we would love you to be a Miami Hurricane…You are that guy. I’m going to recruit you like an absolute madman, and I want you to lead the class when it’s your time.”

Hester plays for the Anytime Jags (Orlando, FL) and won the 11U Heisman last season. He’s currently in middle school.
