At 5-foot-9, 180-pounds, Cedar Shoals free safety/running back Bubba Freeman has the ability to exhibit speed and pack a powerful punch.
“I had him for just two days in spring football practice because he was running track, but what I did see was a very explosive and powerful kid,” Cedar Shoals first-year coach Xarvia Smith said.
“He’s a 4.5 [in the 40] kid who won region in the triple jump and finished fourth in state. He can power clean 275 pounds and he loves the game of football.”
Despite the size disadvantage, Freeman, who is being recruited as a cornerback, scholarship offers will likely arrive in mid-to-late September.
“He hasn’t been offered by anyone yet, but they are all interested,” Smith said.
“Central Florida, Oklahoma State, Georgia, the Citadel, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Kentucky and Louisville have shown interest. They want to see how he does in the first two or three games of the season.”
