strong>BREAKING NEWS ALERT Jeffries will receive a full scholarship to play in the Conference USA school and is the second Panther to commit to a Division I school (Tim Riley is headed to Northwestern). "When I first got out there, it kind of seemed like home to me," Jeffries said. "I liked the town and it just felt normal. I really like the coaching and where they're headed with their program. It's on the upswing. It felt like the right fit." He picked Marshall over Illinois State and several other NAIA and Division II schools. Stay tuned to the Sports Beacon blog and The Beacon News in the coming week to learn where area players will be playing football. The Beacon News will also be hosting a LIVE blog on The Sports Beacon during signing day next week to talk about who is going where, and everything else high school football related!
