The Wilson GST NCAA official leather game football is an excellent ball approved for NCAA play. Featuring a dark leather cover, this football has more tack and deeper pebbles than a traditional ball. Patented sewn-on stripes are made of composite material instead of paint, providing 82% more grip for more accurate throws. Accurate Control Lacing (ACL), which is pebbled instead of smooth, provides QBs with 174% more grip in all conditions. A multi-layered lining and a multi-ply bladder give this ball a consistent shape, the best air retention, and ultimate moisture control. This football is NOT NFHS approved and is not suitable for competitive high school play.
