We have the photos ready for you from today’s signings at Grimsley HS, with DJ Reader inking and linking to Clemson(they had one of the Tiger coaches on the line by way of cell phone during the signing ceremony, when DJ put on his Clemson cap), Kevin Walton is headed to Appalachian State, Landis Shoffner to N.C. A&T and Alec Rotunda will play soccer at Davidson…Alec is also the student body president at Grimsley….The first three young men are all football players from Grimsley, with the exception of DJ, as he plays baseball too….Check out the 50 photos below and when you go to one, it will take you right on through with the entire tour….

Congratulations to D.J. and his family. A fine young man and a super family! Good luck DJ from the Reece family.
Good luck to all 4 boys as they enter the next phase of their lives.
Why Clemson? Guess he only playing football…..
No, DJ is also playing baseball. Clemson’s website has him listed as a two sport player and Dabo Sweeney’s press conference this afternoon, he referred to DJ as also playing baseball for the Tigers.
What an athlete and individual!! Glad you picked Clemson over Maryland. Great job and looking forward to seeing you do it up at the next level.
Good for the young men going on to college but 3 wins with 4 D-I kids?????
That’s what all coaches say until you get there……..once you there they got you locked!
I tend to agree with alumni on this one guys……..number one we all know the shady games that can be played out in the recruiting “wars” and how one school may tell a kid one thing to get them there so they won’t go somewhere else (so remind me again why none of the North Carolina ACC schools offered up both sports?)…..furthermore the time involved trying to do two sports at this level and maintain academic credibility (on the institution and athlete’s part) it is impossible. I wanted to be the next Michael Jordan but I realized that basketball wasn’t going to be where the money was and stuck with a sport where I knew I could develop and have the opportunity to progress to the highest level possible. From another angle, I sincerely hope nothing happens while playing the secondary sport to affect his options in the future for the primary sport. Good luck!
