Playing Football for the Coast Guard Academy

If I am recruited to play football for the academy, are the admission requirements the same as if I were not going to play football? I have sent in my application and I am hoping to play football. I am just curious if the recruiting process for football makes the admissions process any different? I am not asking in hopes to receive an easier admissions process, I am just trying to learn all I can about the process.

Thank you for any and all feedback.

Steve.
