Wesley, Williams and Robinson sign collegiate scholarships
Vicksburg High School football players Eric Wesley, Jaquez Williams, and Demarion Robinson all signed collegiate scholarships on Wednesday.
During their successful 7-5 season at VHS, each athlete brought a significant talent to the team which helped the Gators advance to the second round of the playoffs.
Williams is the big man on the offensive line that paved the way for the Gators to rush for over 2,000 yards this season. He announced last week that he will be taking his skills over to Jones Community College to play for the Bobcats.

“I chose Jones because of their academic programs and I’m really excited to be a Bobcat and I can’t wait to get on campus.”
