Wednesday was National Signing Day for college athletes. After receiving several really great scholarship offers from schools in Kansas and Illinois, Justin finally knows where he's going.
He's not the only one relieved by the decision- we're pretty happy as well.
After one more phone call with the coach Wednesday night, he gave his verbal committment to Highland Community College in Highland, Kansas.
He's going to be a Scottie.
While on the phone with Justin, the recruiting coach told him he just made his day. He then called over to the head coach to get on the phone.
Justin heard him say, "Hey, the kid from Germany wants to sign with us."
They were both pretty excited.
Initially, he was most impressed with two of the private four-year schools in Kansas. He liked the coaches and the strong academics. Highland wasn't high on his list for the fact that it's out in the middle of no where. Not really, it's only forty-five minutes from Kansas City.
For Justin, he really wants to play the highest level of football he can play which made it even harder for him to make his decision. As a loyal kid, he knew if he signed with any of them, he'd give them his whole four years.
They're a new coaching staff rebuilding a program. They let it be known they're going to do things right.
“Highland is committed to winning,” said Held. “We will run a first class program where student-athletes can come and have a jumping board, both academically and athletically, to find the four-year environment that fits them.”
We're even more excited two of Justin's friends from Mulvane have signed to play football there as well. It's nice to know he'll have other moms close to watch him. He should get his papers this week and is going to sign sometime at school.
