Defensive back Troy Newsome finally put a check mark in his college scholarship offer box at the end of February. Newsome, who transferred from Wekiva to West Orange during the semester break, received his first offer from Troy and he was excited to finally hear the words.
“I was just happy because it came out of nowhere. They texted my phone and then called me and told me they were offering me,” Newsome said of Troy defensive coordinator and safeties coach Brandon Hall.
The 6-foot, 170-pound Newsome had five interceptions last season at Wekiva, yet no one pulled the trigger on a scholarship offer.
