Director of Athletics at Saltus, Darrin Lewis, said, “The recruiting process for US universities remains very competitive due to the pandemic and the recent eligibility rule changes put in place by the NCAA. The four seniors that signed college commitments received a combination of academic and athletic scholarships to attend their respective university.
“These four students have been part of Saltus Elite Athlete Programme [SEAP] for their entire high school experience at Saltus. Their preparation process included strength and conditioning, agility, plyometrics, nutritional information, NCAA registration/eligibility and many hours of research on the NCSA platform that is offered to all secondary students that are in SEAP.
“These students have worked extremely hard over the last four years both academically and athletically. Recruiting is at an all time high, resulting in increased competitiveness as the NCAA have offered an extra year of eligibility and have introduced a transfer portal which has made placements very difficult over the last two years.
“I commend these students for the effort and commitment they have displayed during the pandemic as they weren’t able to compete locally for their last two years of high school.”
The spokesperson said, “The entire Saltus community wishes them well as they start their collegiate careers as student athletes.”
