Hard work is paying off for Diddy's son, Justin Combs.
Justin, who plays football for New York's Iona Prep, is being recruited by several colleges reports USA Today.
Back in April, Diddy sent out a tweet asking colleges to take a look at his son's highlight reel, and it looks like they paid attention.
Virginia, Wyoming, Middle Tennessee State and UAB have already made offers to the 5-9, 175 pound cornerback according to Greg Powers of Scouts Inc.
Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, UCLA, Arizona State, Cincinnati and Illinois are also showing interest in the 17-year old.
"I talked to the coach at Illinois, and they told me that they were going to give me an offer," Justin said. "They seemed very excited. We talked about the academics, the football team, the campus, the life there and stuff like that just so I could know a little bit about it. I am going to go out there and see the campus soon before my season. I just want to show my hard work and how it pays off and to show that I deserve that spot and I deserve that scholarship. This why I deserve that scholarship -- I am going to show you why."
That's a really good look for the kid. I'm sure his dad is really proud of him.
Check out Justin playing ball in the video below.

As Kanye West and Jay-Z, together known as The Throne, prepare to release their album 'Watch The Throne,' reports have surfaced that the two rappers are beefing behind the scenes.
The New York Post is reporting that the rift between the two centers around their highly anticipated upcoming tour.
Sources tell the Post that Kanye wants "next-level production," which would cost more than $400,000 per show. Jay-Z on the other hand wants to keep costs to a minimum because he has a long term advance to pay back to to Live Nation, who is backing the tour.
"Jay-Z can't deal with Kanye," an inside source told the Post. "Jay is a stone-cold businessman. He wants to recoup all of his money from Live Nation. But Kanye wants to upstage rock stars with a blowout show. He doesn't care about costs. He has a lot less to gain from the shows."
The two are trying to work out their issues, but their relationship might have suffered a long term blow.
"Jay-Z is fed up with West's antics," another source said. "He doesn't even want to be around him."
Despite the apparent beef the two are expected to perform together at their 'Watch The Throne' album listening party tonight at the Rose Planetarium in Central Park.
This wouldn't be the first time Jay-Z has beefed with a tour mate. In 2004 he and R. Kelly feuded while on their Best Of Both World's tour. The tour was eventually cancelled after a bizarre performance at Madison Sqare Garden, where Kelly thought two people in the audience were waving guns at him.

Drake is back on the scene with the first single from his upcoming sophomore album 'Take Care.' In stores October 24.
Rap fans we've been hoodwinked.
Yesterday we reported that Soulja Boy had copped a G5 jet for $35 million, with plans to spend an additional $20 million more to customize it. Turns out the whole story was made up by Soulja and members of his team.
TMZ is reporting that Soulja, his assistant and a member of his management team Shai Storm, all confirmed he had purchased the jet as a gift to himself for his 21st birthday. But today Soulja's spokesperson Greg Miller, issued a statement admitting the story was made up.
"The elaborate rumors circulating about Soulja Boy purchasing a jet for his 21st birthday are grossly over exaggerated and are not true," Miller said according to the L.A. Times.
That's just bizarre... smh.
