On June - 18 - 2010
Earlier this week, Coach Larry Porter received a verbal committment from Stevie Douglass. Douglass is a 6′4″, 200lb. pro-style quarterback out of Clinton, LA. Douglass was being recruited by3 SEC schools, LSU, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.
Douglass is different from many other football recruits because he is home-schooled. Tim Tebow was also home-schooled but played football at a Florida High School. Douglass is the first quarterback that plays for a home-schooled team to receive this kind of attention. Douglass plays for the Christian Home Educators Fellowship Patriots. His father, Steve Douglass is the head coach of his team.
