Signing Day will be the culmination of patience, faith, hard work and perseverance for one Texas senior who just committed barely a month ago and is a great story in showing that it’s never too late to be recruited.
As this Lovejoy High Leopard can attest, the process can take a while but there are ways to turn “weaknesses into strengths” and not just better yourself on the field, but improve your skills off as well…
