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.

On March - 29 - 2010
Lonnie Ballentine, a 6’3” 200 defensive back out of Southwind High School in Memphis has committed to and signed with the Memphis Tiger football team. Ballentine originally committed to Memphis back in the summer but decided to re-open his recruitment after Coach Tommy West was fired. Ballentine chose the Tigers over 4 SEC schools; Tennessee, Ole Miss, LSU and Arkansas.
The good news about Ballentine’s commitment gets even better when you consider that he will graduate early. He has already signed a letter of intent with the Tigers and will be eligible for the 2010 season. Ballentine will be a valuable piece in Coach Porters’ effort to rebuild the football team.
