Football: Penguins Sign Texan, Floridian
Youngstown -- Youngstown State Football Head Coach Jon
Heacock announced on Thursday that
Scott Good of Sweeny, Texas, and
Damian Wright of Plantation, Fla.,
have signed National Letters of
Intent to play football for the
Penguins.
Good, who is believed to be the first-ever YSU football
signess from Texas, was an
all-district performer as a running
back and played defensive back at
Sweeny High School. Wright was a
standout wide receiver at South
Plantation High School in Florida.
"Both of these individuals are very skilled athletes and both
have outstanding speed," Heacock
said. "Damian is a wide receiver who
participates in track and has
excellent speed. Scott is another
fast individual as a defensive back
and can run a 10.6 second 100 (yard
dash)."
Good, whose full name is D'Andrea Scott Good, 5-10, 160
pounds, was an all-district and
all-county performer in both
football and track at Sweeny. In his
last two seasons, he played
quarterback, running back and
defensive back and was the team's
best kickoff returner. He rushed for
989 yards and 10 touchdowns, passed
for 669 yards and threw seven
touchdowns. On defense he recorded
78 tackles and six interceptions,
including returning one 97 yards for
a touchdown. His senior year he was
an academic all-district selection
as the Bulldogs were 9-4 and
advanced to the Regional
Quarterfinals in Class 3A, Texas'
third largest.
He qualified for the Texas 200-meter dash last year with a
time of 21.7 seconds and was part of
Sweeny's 400-meter relay team that
qualified with a time of 42.1
seconds.
Wright, 5-11, 150 pounds, had 25 receptions for 420 yards and
four touchdowns as a senior at South
Plantation. He also ran for 205
yards on 15 carries and scored a
touchdown. He played basketball and
ran track for the Knights and was a
two-time member of the Honor Roll.
Wright and Good join offensive lineman John Bartos III,
linebacker Joe Juby, offensive
lineman Tony Limongi, running
back/defensive back Pete Perry,
linebacker Justin Scholes and
defensive lineman Scott Wahl to play
football for YSU. |
