Barberton High School rising senior Kobie Booker has committed to play football at the University of Akron.
Booker, 18, is 6-foot-1 and 257-pounds. He plays all the defensive line positions, linebacker and tight end for Magics coach Tony Gotto, and has been a starter the past two years as a sophomore and junior.
“Akron is recruiting me to play D-line and linebacker, and the coaches said maybe every once in awhile some fullback on goal line and short yard situations,” Booker said. “I love the opportunity to play at Akron. I want to put on for the city.
