The phrase “Kevin Hart football” usually refers not to the comedian, but to Kevin Hart, a high school offensive lineman from Fernley, Nevada, who became infamous for faking a major college football recruitment.
The recruiting hoax
Kevin Hart was a little-known high school lineman who, in 2008, held a full school assembly and publicly “announced” he was committing to play football at the University of California, Berkeley, even though Cal had never recruited him. The event included hats from big schools and local media coverage, which made the lie blow up nationally once it emerged that neither Cal nor the other named programs had offered him a scholarship.
What actually happened
After the hoax was exposed, Hart admitted he had invented the recruiting story because he desperately wanted to play Division I football and felt that dream slipping away. Instead of immediately moving on to small-college football, he had to deal with national embarrassment and questions about his honesty and future.
Later football career
A few years later, Hart did get a real opportunity at a much lower level: he eventually received an offer from a smaller college program after time in junior college, effectively restarting his football path more realistically. By then, his name was already widely known as “the boy who cried Cal,” a cautionary tale about recruiting pressure and honesty in high school sports.
If you meant the comedian
If the question was about comedian Kevin Hart and football, the best-known incident is that he badly injured himself at age 44 trying to race former NFL running back Stevan Ridley in a 40-yard dash, tearing multiple muscles and needing a wheelchair for a time. He has also been involved with football as an entertainer and host (for example, appearing on NFL programming and co-hosting major soccer/football events), but he never played college or NFL football.
