The problem is that the team is composed of 13 and 14-year-olds, which makes any feat achieved under the circumstances totally doucherific. What is he gonna do, brag to his friends at the bar? I totally schooled that 5-foot kid when he tried to run a crossing pattern over the middle!
He signed up for the team under the name "Chad Jordon" and used a fake birth certificate to verify his age. And since he acted like a little kid, the coaches had no reason not to believe him. They also likely felt sorry for him, since he claimed that both his parents were dead and he'd just moved to Florida with his brother from Seattle.
But despite being much older than the other kids, Threatts apparently sucks at football. He scammed his way onto similar teams the last two years, but because his play didn't stand out, nobody seemed to notice that this was his third straight year playing for little league teams.
His scam went awry, however, when he decided to take it one step further. That's when he tried to enroll in Webb Middle School in Hillsborough, Florida, but his application was flagged when he lacked the proper paperwork. He told school officials he was homeless.
Alas, his con was blown was his cell phone rang. It was his mom calling, wondering where he was. School officials got on the horn and found the truth from mom; Threatts was actually a 21-year-old convicted burglar. He's now in the Hillsborough County Jail charged with trespassing at the school. (Special thanks to So Cal Dreamer for the tip.)
