SHREVEPORT, La (KTAL/KMSS) — Huntington had three football players sign letters of intent on Friday.
Quarterback Justin Whitaker, wide receiver Caiden Starks and offensive lineman Royuan Jackson committed to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level.
The Whitaker and Starks connection will continue at the same school, as both signed with Midland University.
“I just feel blessed and I just feel happy that I had people that’s here to support me throughout the whole entire way and I’m just glad to be able to go to college and keep playing football,” Whitaker stated.
“Really just excited, you know, it’s a new thing for me. I never really thought I was gonna be signing for football, but here we are, gave it to God. I’m excited to see where it’s gonna go,” Starks said.
For their teammate Royuan Jackson, his decision to sign with Southern Arkansas was easy.
“It was amazing, at first it was a little uncertainty, but seeing how my family was about it and how excited they were for me, it made the decision easier,” Jackson said.
