Dudley signings
Albert McLean- Winston Salem State University
Mykael Martin- North Carolina Central University

I heard Jeremy Harris, PF for the Page Basketball team, wants to play football somewhere. Has anyone heard if he is signing as a WR? He could really play if he put on some weight.
Raquan Jones-Fayetteville State University
Marlon Petty-UNC-Chapel Hill (Also possible Morehead Scholar)
Good for Marlon! Been my friend since I was a little kid and I couldn’t be happier for him.
I heard he’s just a walk-on though, correct?
Marquell Cartwright and Lamar Raynard NC A&T
Brandon Galloway NC Central
Carlos Manning UNC Pembroke
Glad Reader is only playing football, which is his best sport. He was not a D1 baseball player even though he had a roster spot last year. RHP with a medium fastball that doesn’t move should play football. Look where Russell Wilson is now—could not hit minor league pitching and now he’s a Super Bowl champion.
I don’t think it was a matter of he was not D1 baseball material =. I think it was exactly what his dad told me. “DJ thinks we wants to play both baseball and football but we both know that when he bulks up for football he will not be able to swing a bat. But he is 18 so…”. This was another Russell Wilson like mistake that NCSU made. They could have had a great football player playing for them but our coach at the time was an idiot.
He is a great athlete and I think he made the right choice. Proud of you DJ and supporting you all the way to the NFL.
