Bruce running back Richard Freelon was recently featured as the number twenty-six rated prospects amongst the top forty preseason in the state of Mississippi according to superprep.com powered by scout.com recruiting.
Last season Freelon earned Region 2-2A MVP honors after rushing for 2,533 yards and 33 touchdowns – just eight shy of the all-time county mark of 41 set by Vardaman’s Odie Armstrong in 2000.
Freelon has already qualified with a 3.6 GPA and a 16 on the ACT. Alcorn State, LSU, Ole Miss, MSU, USM, Alabama, Arkansas, and Michigan have shown interest in the 5’10 200lb running back with Alcorn being the only school to have offered him so far.
Bruce is set to kickoff the season at home against DeSoto Central.
