Middle Creek senior Jordan Mays (pictured left #2 in white) recently announced his committment to the Air Force Academy to play football next season.
As a shut-down cornerback, Mays was a first-team all-conference selection this year as his Mustangs won a school-record 12 games and advanced to the third round of the NCHSAA playoffs — another school first.
Mays said the Air Force coaches plan on using him as a defensive back next season. The Falcons, coached by Troy Calhoun — who was rumored to to have been offered the Tennessee job — went 8-5 this year.
At service academies, there are no redshirts. Players have four years to play four.
Mays chose Air Force over offers from Navy and North Carolina Central.
