BEACHES- Local high school football student athletes signed letters of intent to play college football in a new tradition sweeping the nation, December National Signing Day. These athletes have put in hard work to be able to enroll early into college based on their excellent achievements in academics, and their stellar play on the football field. Duval Sports interviewed Fletcher’s Jeremiah Payton and Hunter May on their big days and big decisions to further their education, and play at the next level.
