My 2023 played basketball and baseball youth till middle school. We allowed him to play football middle school so he played all 3 sports for several years. When he got to HS, he dropped basketball as it's hard for him to keep up with the tall kids and basketball overlaps too much with baseball. He was the starting QB and punter for his HS football team his senior year. He does go to a small private school so that allowed him to play multiple sports. The coaches are happy to get whoever can play so the HS coaches were very supportive of multi sports athletes. The baseball and FB coach coordinate with each other to make sure there are no conflicts. The coaches watches each other's game. I do see the baseball coach cringe though whenever the football coach calls a QB run.
I do think that while most college coaches say they appreciate multi sports athlete (and I think most of them genuinely do), it did hurt my son's recruitment when he missed the crucial baseball recruiting period during the fall of his junior year when he dislocated his finger from football. No matter how much college coaches appreciate multi sports athlete, not playing in some of the fall tournaments (the big ones at Jupiter and Ft Myers) limited his exposure. He's the type of baseball player that won't impress college coaches with his numbers, they need to see him play.
As an uncommitted senior, a lot of baseball people were telling my son that he should skip football, focus on baseball during fall of his senior year and hit the fall tournaments, camps and showcases. He still played football and had fun. During football season, he committed fully to football. The same baseball people that urged him to not play football told him to skip on one of his football games against one of the weakest teams in their region during PG Jupiter tournament weekend. He said he has to meet his commitment and will not let his teammates down. He played football Fri night, we went straight to the airport after his game, showered in the airport lounge, arrived at the hotel in Jupiter at 1 AM, and he made it to his team's last final pool play game at 8 AM Sat (thankfully, they made it out of pool play so he got to play more games Sun). The 8 AM Sat game is when the college coach saw him that he eventually committed to.
I did admire his commitment and I have to believe that the character he showed playing multiple sports, the hard work, and commitment to the team and not just thinking about what's best for himself, will pay off in the future (even if it did hurt him in the short term from baseball recruiting standpoint).
