Relationships matter. In high school recruiting, there are few things still as important.
That fact led Marion County all-state athlete Zaiden “Man Man” Humphrey to make up his mind and commit to Austin Peay University during a weekend visit to the Clarksville campus.
“They were one of the first schools to really recruit me hard and when I was there this weekend the whole staff really showed me how much they want me there,” said Humphrey, who chose the Governors over offers from six other programs, including Georgia State, Middle Tennessee State and Toledo. “They’ve shown a lot of love for a long time and I just felt really comfortable while I was there, so I decided to go ahead and make it official and commit.
“It’s really a load off my mind and now I can just concentrate on getting ready for my senior season.”
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Humphrey has played every offensive skill position for the Warriors, mostly at quarterback, where his athleticism makes him a nightmare to slow down.
