In addition to picking among universities, Baylor’s Reggie Upshaw must choose between sports.
Upshaw has scholarship offers coming in almost daily in both basketball and football, and the Red Raiders senior said he hopes to make a decision before football season kicks off in mid-August.
“It will be tough having to choose one,” said Upshaw, who has played organized basketball since he was 4 and football since he was 6. “But I can be comfortable walking away from one, knowing I’ll get to play the other in college, which most people don’t get to do.
“I was really surprised at the beginning of summer when I was getting invited to so many camps and then when some of the big-time offers came in. I feel very blessed to have so many options.”
