Jay’s Hendricks Signs With The USA Jaguars
February 4, 2010
Wednesday was National Signing Day, and it was a big day in Jay for Rush Hendricks.
Hendricks signed on the dotted line and committed to play football for the University of South Alabama Jaguars, a team that played football for the first time last season.
“I’m very excited about the opportunity to be a part of a new program. I look forward to being able to contribute to the team this fall. Coach Jones, and Coach Rodrigue are going to help me find out what I’m made of, and I’m ready,” Hendricks told NorthEscambia.com. “I haven’t met a single person involved with the program that isn’t 100% fired up about what is happening on campus and with the football program. The fact that they expect us to set a standard for excellence is an honor, and I am proud to be a part of the foundation of USA football history.”
Due to an injury, Hendricks only played five games during his senior season for the Jay High School Royals, rushing for 750 yards as a running back for the Royals. On the defensive side, playing linebacker, he had 45 tackles, eight of them for losses.
Hendricks has participated in summer camps at Florida, Florida State, Auburn and Alabama — where he made the Sabian team for two years. He’s been named a 2009 Pensacola News Journal Super Senior, and played offense and defense on the Pensacola Sports Association All-Star team.
Football is not his only sport; Hendricks has played catcher and first base in baseball, part of a district championship team each year of his high school career.
The 225 pound Hendricks is also a star in the classroom at Jay High, where he is currently ranked second in the senior class with a 4.0 GPA in an honors curriculum.
Rush Hendricks is the son of Rick and Nina Hendricks. Nina also attended the University of South Alabama.
The USA Jaguars concluded their inaugural season with a perfect 7-0 mark while outscoring the opposition 321-41. During the 2010 season, they will face 10 four-year schools, including seven home games at Ladd-Peebles stadium in Mobile.
