The football factory that is Whitehaven...

Every single year the Whitehaven Tigers have 10,12,14,15 players commit to play football at many different levels of college. Coach Saulsberry and his staff continue to do a wonderful job preparing these young men for the next step in their lives both from an educational standpoint and a football standpoint. 4 more young men have committed for this year bringing the current total up to 8 and I am sure there will be more to sign on the dotted line in the coming days.

The most recent commitments are DL Andra Smith, OL Vincent Hunter, QB Patrick Smith and LB Adam Collins. They join RB Mark Dodson (already enrolled at Ole Miss, WR Gerald Perry (Vanderbilt), DB Darius Sims (Vanderbilt) and WR Justin Hunt (Marshall).

Collins will be headed to Morgan St. A dynamite defender who anchored the defense this past year, Collins had the big play in the 2011 state championship game vs Maryville when he returned a fumble 74 yds for a TD. Patrick Smith is headed up I-40 to Nashville to play for Tennessee St. Smith was a clutch performer for the Tigers, throwing for almost 1200 yds & 14 TD's while rushing for almost 700 yds (7.2/carry) & 13 TD's. When the defense focused on stopping Mark Dodson, Smith made them pay. Hunter and Andra Smith will both head down to Birmingham to play for UAB.  Both were dominant performers on the offensive and defensive lines that were such a vital part to Whitehaven's success.

Here is a link to some video and our updated area commitment list which now stands at 58:
