PORTLAND, Ore. -- A high school football player from Nevada who drew national attention to himself when he lied about getting a scholarship may be playing college football after all.

Sources told Fox 12 that Portland State coaches have called Kevin Hart's high school in Nevada requesting footage of the lineman.

Hart’s grandfather, George Hart, said his grandson was an all-state offensive lineman in both his junior and senior seasons at Fernley High School near Reno.

Earlier this week, Hart told a school assembly that he would be signing a national letter of intent with the University of California, but Cal never recruited him. In fact, no schools were interested in him, officials said.

He had originally claimed that a middle man duped him into believing that both Cal and the University of Oregon were recruiting him. He said earlier this week that that was also a lie.

Hart, a 6-foot-5, 290-pound offensive lineman, apologized in a statement he issued through the Lyon County School District.

He said he had wanted to play football at a Division I school "more than anything."

George Hart said his grandson is a good kid who just made a terrible mistake. He also said that if Portland State is interested in his grandson, he’d be more than happy to send all the footage he has to PSU.
