Tomorrow, February 6, is national signing day for high school seniors to sign with a college football team. I would love to have a thread where we keep track of all the signings of high school seniors. There have been a smattering of announcements all along, we have one now for a 2020 grad. That is usually done for the D1 athletes but there are a lot more guys in our area playing in college than those who go D1. So I am proposing we make a list in one thread (this one) of where the players from YOUR favorite team are going when in college (including the D1 guys who have already been announced).

 

I doubt I can manage such a thread so I propose that fans post the guys from their H.S. team who have signed for a college team. I have heard a few rumors from some NKY players but I will not post the rumors I have heard yet. I want to count on those BGP members who have information about their favorite team and its players. So we will need you to inform us.

 

I will start with what I know from the Boone County Rebels.

 

LB John Mark Shutt has signed with Concordia University of Ann Arbor (CUAA).

 

He will compete for a starting spot on the Cardinal defense for 2019. Concordia has been a successful team over the last several years and is on an upward trajectory. They are members of the very competitive Mid States Football Association in NAIA. Member teams have won the NAIA championship 6 out of the last 8 seasons.

 

CUAA was 10-3 in 2018 with a trip to the playoffs. They were ranked #6 nationally in the post season NAIA coaches' poll.

 

Cardinals finish 2018 ranked No. 6 in NAIA Coaches Postseason Poll - Concordia University
