La'Mar Winston, a four-star football recruit from the state of Oregon, had narrowed his college options down to three schools: UCLA, Stanford and Oregon.

The 6'3", 200 pound linebacker is focused on creating the best possible future for himself and has put a premium on academics.

"There's not a lot of athletes that are going to go to the league. And even if you go to the league, the average career is what? Three years? So, I've got to be ready to do something else after that," Winston said, according to Andrew Nemec of The Oregonian. "I just want to be able to take care of as much school before, so if I do end up going to the league or something like that, I'll be ready for injury, if I'm not performing well, anything like that."
