“I just want to thank the coaching staff and Coach Perry for leading me in the field and teaching me how to play the game of football,” he said.

The next student recognized was Trakeon Safford. Saffard also signed to play football with the MTI Bison of South Florida.

The last student recognized during college signing day was Derrick Ingram. Ingram chose to sign to play football with the University of West Alabama.

Like McCall, Ingram also took a brief moment to thank those that helped him get to this moment.

Following the signings, the coaching staff for the football team gave closing remarks concluded by Defensive Coordinator Brian Coleman.

“I love you guys and if you ever need anything, remember I am just a phone call away,” Coleman said. “You represent not just yourselves but our school as well. Not many people get to get out of here. Remember you have the opportunity for something bigger.”
