Red Bank High School pitcher Hagen Wilkey.Hagen Wilkey may have options.
Red Bank’s quarterback had offers from Carson-Newman and Birmingham-Southern but his offense, pitching and outfield play may soon attract college baseball recruiters.
“I had always spent more time on football,” the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder said.
He has, however, been honing in on baseball and already has six home runs and 21 RBIs and nine of his 13 hits have gone for extra bases. And while he also pitches, Wilkey already has gunned down five runners at the plate.
“If I don’t get any baseball offers, I’ll probably go to [the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga] as a preferred walk-on,” he said.
