Jay Football Star Hendricks To Play For USA Jaguars

January 28, 2010

Jay High School football star Rush Hendricks has committed to play football for the University of South Alabama Jaguars.

Due to an injury, Hendricks only played five games during his senior season, rushing for 750 yards as a running back for the Royals. On the defensive side, playing linebacker, he had 45 tackles, eight of them for losses.

Football is not his only sport; Henricks has played catcher and first base in baseball, part of a district championship team each year of his high school career.

The 225 pound Hendricks is also a star in the classroom at Jay High, where he is currently ranked second in the senior class with a 4.0 GPA in an honors curriculum.

Rush Hendricks is the son of Rick and Nina Hendricks.

Hendricks will officially ink his letter of intent with USA Jaguars on February 3.  The Jaguars concluded their inaugural season with a perfect 7-0 mark while outscoring the opposition 321-41. During the 2010 season, they will face 10 four-year schools, including seven home games at Ladd-Peebles stadium in Mobile.

    Congrats Rush, All I ask of you is to remember where you came from and the people who supported you. When you make the big time, don’t be like that guy that played for escambia gators and then Florida gators. You know the one who 15 or 19 million signing bonus and then charged 20.00 for his signiture on a jersey, called just business. Now who was that guys name again? em & it something. O well something like that.
