I had a great visit with @VState_Football and @Coach_Kee_ today and I am blessed to receive my first offer ! @ccrusadersfball @ChadLashley @BobbyClayton75

These guys have had their fair share of adversity over the last 6 months. Couldn’t be more proud of the way they have bonded together to become 2025 District Champs and cap off the regular season 9-1! Playoffs here we come!!! #Saders 🔰
