“Gordon is closer to home, to my family, to my friends,” Douse said. “I could always get around. It’s just a great opportunity and a great place to be.”
Defensive back Martrell Mitchell will take his talents Bethany College in Kansas.
“You want a coach that’s going to listen to you and bond with you,” Mitchell said. “You don’t want to coach that is just, ‘Oh yeah, he’s there.’ He was actually connecting with me. So I was like, ‘You know what? I think it’s a fit.’”
Wide receiver and defensive back Eli Frieson travels to Tennessee to play at Sewanee.
“It means a lot to me, being the first male to make it to college in my family,” said Frieson. They were the best option for me academically, athletically. The coaching staff showed me a lot of love.”
