On the Rules screen, set the Age Minimum to 14.
On the Rules screen, set the Age Maximum to 17.
On the Options screen, set the Create Age Min. to 14.
On the Options screen, set the Create Age Max. to 14.
This will result in most high school players playing for four years and entering the draft at age 18.
For College feeder leagues:
On the Rules screen, set the Age Minimum to 18.
On the Rules screen, set the Age Maximum to 21.
On the Options screen, set the Create Age Min. to 18.
On the Options screen, set the Create Age Max. to 18.
This will result in most college players playing for four years and entering the draft at age 22.

One thing to remember regarding the ages. When you first create the leagues, you'll want to have the create age min and create age max settings so that they cover the spectrum of ages for each league before filling the leagues with fictional players. Then after filling the leagues with players, change the settings so that they are set to 14 for HS and 18 for college as suggested in the manual. That way each team will have a variety of ages in the first year and all freshman classes in the following years will be at the appropriate age.
