When some high school athletes graduate and they have not been courted to play at the collegiate level, their careers are finished, but that’s not the case for Xavier “Zay” Freeman. College football and wrestling are still a big part of his future, he hopes. Earlier this week Zay received his letter from Virginia Tech that he had been academically accepted for enrollment there. He has hopes to walk-on to the football team and wrestling squad too.

Running backs Vincent Lowe and Isaiah Harper are both on the rise. Together at Grassfield, the duo carried the rushing load, yet Harper only had three games with double digit carries and Lowe had none. They’re “low mileage” backs. Harper had an average yards per carry of over nine while Lowe topped six. After Saturday’s one campus visit, there’s a possibility that the pair could end up in college together.

Princess Anne linebacker Aaron Glover and wide receiver Jordan Glover are cousins. Quarterback and safety Shelton Beale is close to the family as well. All three made a trip up to Philly with Aaron’s Dad, Deon Glover, in order to get a look at the Owls.
