Crazy how time flies. Yesterday he was re-classing on a full scholarship to Lawrenceville Prep. Now he’s getting ready for the next chapter. Locked in Towson Tigers ….

I see a lot of guys posting their stats and plays, but fellas you should be including your GPA along with them. When a college is interested that is the first thing they will ask from your coach or you. @hs_mercer

Great job!

Our linebackers play tough and ruthless, with a next-man-up mentality this season. We run to the ball and make plays until the whistle. They are true FOOTBALL players. #TCB @LvilleBigRedFB @CoachPoeWins

Maybe I'm getting old, but when you are about to offer a kid a scholarship or a PWO, it is still best practice to call the high school coach. I'll tell you everything you need to know that's not on film. I'll save you time and disappointment.
