Davi Belfort, the 16-year-old son of former UFC champion Vitor Belfort, has drawn the attention of several colleges thanks to his quarterbacking abilities.

“He followed me in the gym since he was very young. Certainly that routine helped him to fall in love with football, because I never forced him or my daughters to fight,” Belfort told Sherdog.com.

According to the elder Belfort, Davi drew interest ahead of schedule for his abilities on the gridiron. The quarterback prospect attends Cardinal Newman in West Palm Beach, Fla.

“I was really impressed how focused he is and how he uses social media to make good connections to improve,” Vitor said. “Now, for example, he is training with (University of Alabama quarterback) Bryce Young in Costa Mesa. Bryce in one of the best quarterbacks in the country at his age, so he is learning a lot from him and also from his excellent coach.”

That dedication has resulted in scholarship offers from Arizona State University, Florida Atlantic University and the University of Fort Lauderdale for Davi, who has lived in Florida with his family since he was 5 years old.

Vitor says that Davi is not the only athletic talent in the family. His 13-year-old daughter Vitoria, is considered among the Top 5 on the East Coast at her position in volleyball, while 11-year-old Chiara is already considered by some as the No. 1 all-around gymnast in the region.

Vitor is quite proud of the athletic feats of his offspring, but if he had to pick one with the most likely chance to succeed in MMA, it would be Vitoria.

“No doubt Vitoria is the one who impressed me the most by her striking abilities and punching power, but I´m very happy that they found their own way,” Vitor said.
