My son committed to Franklin on Sunday and sent in his deposit. We can't wait to be a part of the Franklin football family! He chose the Griz over Wabash, Mount Union, and Trine. From the start, Franklin felt like the best fit. He is a wr/pr/kr/rb. With 4.5 "40", 36" vertical, 5'8" 165 lbs.

Being that slow, it will be tough for him to see the field for the Griz!  (Just Kidding!)

Congrats to him and you.  With the decision in the rear view mirror, he can enjoy the rest of his senior year of high school.

That is so true! It is a huge relief to make that commitment and finally have some fun(at least until camp starts)

A relief for sure! Coach Leonard made such a good impression on us right from the start. We have heard nothing but great things about him from everyone.

Good luck to your son!! it seems like only yesterday, we visited North Central and my son made his committment. Enjoy-- the four years fly-we have one left and hoping for a very good one. Keep us posted on his progress.

Thank You.  We were actually at the Wabash vs North Central playoff game on a Wabash visit. What a game that was!!! Good luck to you guys during your sons senior season.

Congrats on your son's choice. Our youngest son graduated from there in 2008. We still make the trip up north to catch some of the football and baseball games. We also play in the football homecoming golf scramble every year.

Coach Leonard and coach Theobald are both great. Wish your son the best of luck in both football and his education.

Go Grizz.

It was a great game for Wabash-not so much for NC. And to add insult to injury, on the way home, I slow down for a deer that ran in front of my car. A second one slammed into my door and took out the mirror. 

A relief for sure! Coach Leonard made such a good impression on us right from the start. We have heard nothing but great things about him from everyone.

Was at Butler before Marian. Spent a few years as the Defensive Coordinator at DePauw under Nick Mourouzis & Bill Lynch. I worked with him personally at DePauw. Great guy. Good coach. I wish him the best, because I think we all know what kind of battle he has ahead of him.
