On Wednesday, February 1, student athletes around the country signed their National Letter of Intent (NLI) to continue their academic and athletic journey in college. A total of nine Green Knight athletes took part in the signings, including eight football players and one baseball player. The senior athletes who signed were Takai Chisolm, John Foley, Luke Henrich, Stephen Laguerre, Connor McAllen, Donovan McKoy, Jimmy Mullen, Luke Tucci, and Tommy Zotollo.
Also signing was baseball player Tommy Zotollo, who committed to Penn State Brandywine. Zotollo described the process by saying, “The coaches reached out to me via text and email. They were all very polite and helpful in answering questions along with scheduling visits.” Choosing the best college to attend may be exciting or nerve racking for some and Tommy gave his input on why he chose Penn State Brandywine: “After numerous visits, I fell in love with the campus, atmosphere, staff and coaches. I am extremely excited to attend Penn State Brandywine in the fall!
Signing and choosing colleges comes with a lot of excitement for all the student athletes.
“It’s a surreal feeling,” said football running back Luke Tucci. “ I’ve worked my whole life to get to this point and I’m proud that my goal of playing college football has been reached.” He added: “I’m most excited about entering a new environment and making connections with the people I meet in it.”
Congratulations to all of the Green Knights who signed on February 1, and best wishes for continued success on their college teams!
