Trey Rucker and Jordan Houston, teammates at Flint Hill School in Virginia, both committed last week to play college football at Maryland. Rucker announced his decision on Sunday, and Houston let his loose on Twitter the day after.
Watching both, already informed of their decisions, was Steve Willoby. The Flint Hill assistant coach and Rucker’s stepfather was a big part of why the two recruits took the specific path they did to becoming FBS football recruits.
It started when Trey Rucker was in youth football. After hearing numerous times from his wife that his stepson had some serious talent, Willoby sat Rucker down.
