As he sat in the stands at Furman’s Paladin Stadium on Oct. 23, watching the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team – his father’s team – rally from 18 points down in the third quarter, Jacob Huesman knew he’d made his decision.
Before the Mocs’ 36-28 win at Greenville, S.C., was complete, Jacob texted his mother, Amy, with the news: UTC was where he was going to play college ball.
In the family, Mocs coach Russ Huesman was the last to know.
“I had no idea that he was going to do that,” Russ said of his oldest child committing to UTC in the locker room following the game.
