Jeremiah Dean
Sport: Football
School: University of West Florida
Why West Florida? I took a visit up there last weekend, and, when I went up there, the coaches made it feel like a family. I feel like I would want to spend my future there.
Peyton Bender
Sport: Soccer
School: Trinity College of Florida
Why Trinity? I chose Trinity because it was a bit of everything I needed. I wanted to play soccer, of course, but I wanted a small, private Christian college just because I was raised Christian. I just enjoy the smallness of schools I’ve been at, and it just felt like a family when I went there, so I choose family over basically anything any day.
