Senior Rayshon Jacobs committed to to play football at Central Connecticut State University on February 5. Central was Jacobs’ top school and he received a full athletic scholarship. Advocate News Editor Alexis Broderick interviewed Jacobs on his commitment to Central. 

Alexis Broderick: What made you commit to Central? 

Rayshon Jacobs : Central had a great athletic and academic program, and they have a lot of opportunities for Connecticut students such as myself. 

AB: What are you looking forward to at Central? 

RJ: I look forward to the change from high school to college and meeting new people and meeting all of my new football teammates. 

AB: How did Law prepare you for college?

RJ: Law prepared me for college mentally and my coaches suggested that I work harder and be the best version of myself. This got me to where I am today and I couldn’t be anymore grateful. 

AB: Do you personally feel like you’re ready for college? 

RJ:  I personally feel like I’m ready for college, but I do know that struggle is going to occur. I will have to apply time management skills and prioritize things better to be the successful student I want to be. 

AB: Why did you choose football over track? 

RJ: I chose football over track because I’ve played football since I was seven years old. I started track my junior year of high school, but football has a bigger place in my heart. Although I had an amazing track season this year, Central and football is where I know I would be the happiest. 

AB: Is there anyone you would like to thank for helping you over the years? 

RJ: I would want to thank my mom for being so supportive and always pushing me to strive. I would also like to thank my Uncle David for being a great support system as well and always staying on top of me academically and making sure I stay for my athletic career as well. Lastly, I would like to thank Mr. Beler for advice and doing so many amazing things for me. I really don’t know where I would be today without him.
