CFB and Banking

Hi everyone,I am a current high school senior applying to colleges with the intention of going into investment banking after college. I applied early decision to NYU and was waitlisted; I am not planning on applying ed2 anywhere. So far I have been admitted to Fordham Gabelli and various safety schools. I also have passed the athletic pre-read to play college football at Kenyon College (small but somewhat prestigious LAC in Ohio) and am wondering if the alumni network or the additional aspect on my resume is powerful enough to boost an otherwise “unknown” school to a school that is comparable to a semi target (like Fordham).Any input would be appreciated.
