I don't know if there is a trend toward football players getting better GPAs, but it sure seems that way to me.  Maybe it's grade inflation or AP proliferation.  Maybe kids now realize that football is a long shot for a career plan.  Whatever the cause, there are a bunch of 4.0+ GPA kids on Stanford's board this year.  Of the current commits, Costello, C. Robinson, and Antoine report stratospheric GPAs.  Of the kids Stanford still has a good shot at landing, R. Robinson, Butler, Fehoko, and Pryts report 4.0 or better GPAs, plus McCulloch reports a 3.875 GPA (5th out of 796 in his class).  But GPA isn't a perfect predictor for who will end up choosing Stanford.  McKinley, Imatorbhebhe, and Okonya all report 4.0+ GPAs and have eliminated Stanford.  Still, overall, this year had a very impressive pool.
