Pinecrest Quarterback Commits to The Citadel

Ryan, who is team captain for the Paladins and starts as quarterback and outside linebacker, will play quarterback for the Bulldogs in 2017. 

 

Ryan also received a football scholarship offer from Elon University, and has been actively recruited by Georgia Southern University, Northern Illinois University, Minnesota State University, Ohio University, Samford University, Liberty University and Mercer University.

 

During the 2016 football season and his junior year at Pinecrest, Ryan was named All-State, Region Player of the Year, All-Region and All-County.

 

"Ryan is a tremendous leader, student and Christian young man. He is a competitor in the classroom and on the field," commented Pinecrest Academy Head Football Coach Todd Winter. "We are proud of his accomplishments and looking forward to him leading our team in 2016."

 

The Citadel defeated South Carolina last fall, winning the Southeastern Conference and advancing to the quarterfinals. The team is currently ranked eighth in the country.

Ryan will formally sign with The Citadel in February 2017, on National Signing Day.
