David Sills, a "quarterback prodigy" coached by David Clarkson, was a seventh grader when he was offered a scholarship by Lane Kiffin at USC in 2010 (because of his age apparently it was non-binding). He turned out to be bust, eventually converting to receiver at West Virginia.

EDIT: actually read the article -- looks like Kiffin is still at it, making offers to Steve Clarkson's kid as well as Tee Martin's kid.
