College Decision Highlight

by Raymond Rodriguez

This week, we decided to highlight some college decisions as they begin to occur in the Warrior Nation. We sat down with two of our varsity football players, who were each a part of our 2018 State Championship team: Xavier Weaver and Jalen Carr.

Xavier Weaver is currently committed to the University of South Florida. Xavier had offers from several schools, like Troy University, Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky, Tennessee State, and many other offers. He chose USF over the others because he felt like it was the right fit when he visited the campus, he felt very strong about the coaching staff, and believes he'll get some good playing time. 

Jalen Carr, this year’s FACA "Player of the Year," has decided to attend Illinois State University. Jalen is very excited to be playing for Illinois State's Coach Spack and becoming a Redbird. It meant a lot to him that the coaching staff at Illinois State wanted him, despite his size. “Big things come in small packages," Coach Spack told Jalen.
