Ooltewah High School football player Rashun Freeman has committed to UTC, giving the Mocs a dozen players expected to sign with their 2016 recruiting class.Despite roots as an offensive player dating to his time with the Brainerd Bills, Rashun Freeman spent his Ooltewah High School football career contributing wherever necessary for his team.
He hopes to be equally effective at his next destination.
Freeman, an all-purpose athlete and future college defensive back, became the 12th member of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga’s 2016 recruiting class Wednesday when he committed to the Mocs. The 5-foot-11, 188-pounder had offers from 2015 Football Championship Subdivision teams Richmond and William & Mary, as well as Football Bowl Subdivision programs Air Force and Navy.
Freeman has a 3.8 grade-point average at Ooltewah and scored a 21 on the ACT.
“I developed a great relationship with Coach (Russ) Huesman and all the coaches on staff,” Freeman said of his interest in UTC, which has won at least a share of three straight Southern Conference titles and advanced to the FCS playoffs the past two years.
