Considering my situation, which is the best path for SF?

[Adrianthebear]

Hello All! Let me thank you in advance for taking your time to lend a helping hand to a highly motivated individual. Just a heads up, the post is not the shortest but i have come here as a last resort to post something. I have researched this topic extensively for years now and after days of reading threads on here I have come to the conclusion that I must ask my question directly without leaving important information for the best possible feedback from professional soldiers and retirees.

Goal: My main military career goal is to be SF. No doubt in my mind. I also want to be an Infantry Officer but my sights are set for an SF career first.
Possible routes available to me: (1) Finish college (which I am currently enrolled with close to 60 credits) and finish the Army ROTC at my school (which I have taken 1 year of in addition to 4 years of JROTC). Then go through the necessary years of service before applying for SF selection. (2) Stop taking classes and enlist under a 4 year contract as a 11x with option 4 (Airborne) and request to be stationed with an Airborne Infantry unit and stay there for a few years (2-4 years) to gain experience and then work on getting my SF packet together and request to go to selection.

Background on me: 20 year old male. Thank God, no medical records or disabilities. Very athletic and speak, read and write fluently: English, Spanish and Portuguese.

My questions: (1) Out of the two routes I have found to be my only routes (I do not qualify for 18x contract), which one do YOU believe will bring me higher chances for making it? (And by chances, I mean which route will give me the necessary experience and knowledge that would make me a more appealing candidate.) (2) I still want to finish my degree if I do go with the second option, so will I have time to work on online and on base classes during those 2-4 years of preparation as a 11x? I understand it will be harder during field training week and deployment but that's deployment and FTXs' so I will plan that accordingly.

Worries: (1) I know the Army is downsizing and with that comes less and less slots for ROTC cadets to gain an active slot. So there's that, and according to my research, ROTC cadets are not guaranteed their first option branch (also, I've read that infantry is the hardest to get for ROTC cadets, if anyone knows differently please share your knowledge).
