The Singletary’s decision followed in the footsteps of Sean Wade (2017) and Trick Johnson (2018) at the former five-star Trinity Christian Academy, and both chose Columbus as their next home after leaving Jacksonville.

But Keri Coombs’ reputation for setting defensive league appearances, and his relationship with both Combs and area recruiter Tony Alford, led to Singletary hoping Buckeye’s bid would be extended.

This was the show he had been waiting for for so long, and when he finally came it was only a matter of time before he made his decision.

“Ohio is one of those schools that puts the best DB in the league,” Singletary told Bucknuts. Marshon Latimore, Ellie Apple, Hooker’s owner, and many more. They can bring me closer to my goal of reaching the NFL and playing ball. ”

Singletary’s recruiting spread quickly after that show, as the 6-foot-1, 170-foot-tall player had Crystal Ball predictions for finally choosing Columbus.
